History

Neos was established on 22 June 2001 as a joint venture between two tourism companies, the Italian Alpitour S.p.A. and the German TUI Group. Revenue flights were launched on 8 March 2002. In January 2004, Alpitour bought all of TUI Group's shares, making Neos a fully owned subsidiary of Alpitour no longer affiliated with TUI.{{cite web|url=http://www.neosair.it/en/neos_history|title=History - Neos air|first=Maxxcom|last=s.r.l.|website=Neosair.it|access-date=10 August 2018}}{{cite web|url=https://www.welt.de/print-welt/article285178/TUI-zieht-sich-aus-Italien-zurueck.html|title=TUI zieht sich aus Italien zurück|last=dpa/rtr|date=9 January 2004|access-date=10 August 2018|website=Welt.de}}

In January 2011, Neos' fleet was increased to six aircraft. In 2014, Neos ordered three Boeing 787-8s.{{cite web|url=http://www.lastampa.it/2016/05/10/economia/neos-amplia-la-flotta-arrivano-tre-boeing-P8OTvblznpFU8yPQ9RLkDO/pagina.html|title=Neos amplia la flotta: arrivano tre Boeing 787|website=Lastampa.it|date=10 May 2016 |access-date=10 August 2018}} These orders were later converted into four larger 787-9s to be added in 2020, with another two taken from Norwegian Air International.
