[edit] History
During the fall of Yugoslavia, and the establishment of an Independent Macedonian republic in the early nineties, Palair Macedonian airlines was created. Their fleet began with a Tupolev TU-154 but was soon followed by a leased Fokker F-28 and F-100, the planes where first in white and red, and later all red with yellow text. When the UN droppped their sanctions against Yugoslavia in 1996, Yugoslav national airline Jat Airways took up their flying operation again, because of that Palair's customers sank drastically in numbers, thus it could not operate any longer. Therefore Palair Macedonian stopped its flying operation in September 1996.
