History
Onur Air was established on 14 April 1992. It started operations using a wet-leased Airbus A320 on 14 May 1992 with a flight to Ercan in North Cyprus. Within 11 months, three more aircraft were added to the fleet. By June 1995, Onur Air was operating a fleet of seven aircraft. By the end of 1995, it was operating nine aircraft. In 1996, Ten Tour acquired the airline. Due to recession, Onur Air had to reduce the number of the planes in its fleet to 13 in 1998, and then to nine in 1999. But once again, the fleet grew rapidly reaching the present number of 31.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
