Evelop Airlines, S.L., operating as Iberojet, is a Spanish-Portuguese charter airline that operates short- and long-haul flights out of Spain and Portugal on behalf of tour operators. The airline has registered offices in Palma de Mallorca and Lisbon.
History
The company is owned by Barceló Viajes (English: Barceló Trips), and was bought by Barceló Group in 2013 following the collapse of Orizonia Corporation.[citation needed] Originally, the company was established under the name Evelop Airlines, before it became a sister company to Portuguese airline Orbest under Barceló. On 8 December 2020, Evelop was merged with Orbest and the two airlines subsequently operated under the Iberojet name. Prior to this, Evelop had accumulated a fleet of Airbus widebody aircraft, including its first Airbus A350-900 in 2019,[3] after which the fleets of Evelop and Orbest were combined as part of the merger.
In 2021, Iberojet supplied the UK Home Office with a charter deportation plane.[4] In 2022, Iberojet took over all scheduled long-haul services to the Caribbean from Wamos Air.[5]
