With the cessation of service by Air Mali (2005), there had been no scheduled domestic air service inside Mali, since 2012. With backing of the Al Sayegh Group of Abu Dhabi, Sky Mali was established and began commercial operations during the second half of 2020. As of February 2021, five Malian destinations are served, including the airline's hub at Bamako International Airport.

At its inception, Sky Mali SA, "a public limited company incorporated under Malian law", was a 100 percent subsidiary of Al Sayegh Group, an Emirati investment holding company, based in Abu Dhabi. At that time, it was expected that other private investors and possibly the Government of Mali would become investors in the business.

As of August 2021, Sky Mali maintained scheduled services to the following destinations:{{cite web |date=2 February 2021 | url=https://medafricatimes.com/22347-airline-sky-mali-makes-its-first-flight-from-bamako-to-timbuktu-in-almost-ten-years.html |publisher=MedAfricaTimes.com |title=Airline Sky Mali makes its first flight from Bamako to Timbuktu in almost ten years |author=Khalid Al Mouahidi |access-date=3 February 2021}}
