Isla Air Express is a new Spanish airline based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The airline has been set up by German investors, including Klaus Dieter Martin, under the AOC umbrella of the Maltese operator Mediterranean Coastal Airlines. Klaus Martin owned another seaplanes company years ago, European Coastal Airlines, based at Split seaport (Croatia).
The airline plans to establish a network of inter-island routes with two DHC-6-300 Twin Otter seaplanes. The first flights would take place between the ports of Palma and Ibiza.
First DHC-6-300 registered 9H-PALMA (msn 557, 1978-vintage) has been photographed at Palma port.
