Airbahn (stylized as airbahn) was a planned American airline headquartered in Irvine, California.

History

The airline was founded by Tariq M. Chaudhary (who is also the CEO and chairman of Pakistani airline Airblue).[2] The carrier planned to operate out of Southern California, to destinations in California, Nevada, and Western Canada. Airbahn was to receive two A320s from Airblue. The planned service was to start somewhere in the second quarter of 2022, according to Airbahn.[3]

The airline begun recruitment drives and promotions across social media platforms, and received one A320 from Airblue, but constantly faced delays in meeting the requirements to maintain its transportation certificate. The Department of Transportation allowed an extension in January 2022, but with over two years having passed since the original issuance of the certification, the DOT denied another extension in May 2022 and revoked the airline's transportation certificate.[4] The airline's management seemed uninterested in reapplying, and quietly shut down operations, with the sole A320 in the fleet being returned to Airblue in Pakistan.[4]
