The company was established in September 2000, by the Croatian company Obalna Kapitalna Ulaganja d.o.o. from Zagreb, Croatia, and European SeaPlane Service (ESPS) GmbH, from
Landsberied, Germany. The airline flew promotional flights using a restored vintage
Grumman Goose in 2000. The
Slobodna Dalmacija daily reported in August 2002 that the company had acquired licences to land at 25 destinations around the Croatian Adriatic, including the
Zadar harbour. According to Croatian law, seaplane operations must obtain licences from both the local civil aviation and maritime authorities, along with
concessions normally required for all businesses along the coast, in addition to special permits issued by the
Harbormasters’ offices for each harbour they wish to use. On 6 October 2014, the company started scheduled flights between
Zagreb and the island of
Rab, but the service was suspended through the winter and resumed in April 2015. The first trans-Adriatic routes between Croatia and Italy began in November 2015 with four weekly flights between
Split downtown and
Ancona and also between
Rijeka Airport and
Ancona. The airline was grounded in August 2016 when its
AOC was temporarily withdrawn by the
Croatian Civil Aviation Agency, apparently due to safety concerns. As a result of ongoing legal discussions, the airline suspended all operations and cancelled 130 jobs. In December 2016, the CEO announced that operations would resume in 2017. As of February 2017, the company's website and
Facebook page hasn't been updated with any new information and no flights were resumed by the end of July. On 2 May 2017, the Commercial Court in Split initiated a pre-bankruptcy procedure at the request of the company filed on 18 April 2017. == Destinations ==
