History
Founded in July 2013 One Airlines is a Chilean airline providing air transportation services and charter passenger Sinami since 2013 . The operations center is located in the Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago de Chile.
The airline announced on June 24, 2020, that it has ceased operations due to the hard financial situation caused by the COVID-19 crisis. The owner and Chairman, Claudio Fischer Llop, blamed the competition from SKY, JetSMART, and LATAM, which are offering charters at prices that ONE cannot compete with, and the lack of financial support from the Chilean government, making ONE’s operation non-viable during the present and near future.[4]
