History

In 2014, former majority owner Royal Caribbean Group (which also owned now-defunct Pullmantur Cruises) sold an 81% stake of Pullmantur Air to investor Springwater Capital, which subsequently led to a rebrand to Wamos Air.[https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/34012-wamos-air-chosen-as-new-pullmantur-air-brand ch-aviation.com - Wamos Air chosen as new Pullmantur Air brand] 29 December 2014

In 2022, Wamos Air announced it would end all scheduled services to focus solely on passenger and cargo charter and ACMI operations. The airline did serve few destinations throughout the Caribbean, which were subsequently handed over to Iberojet.[https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/116832-spains-wamos-air-exits-scheduled-ops-hands-to-iberojet ch-aviation.com - Spain’s Wamos Air exits scheduled ops, hands to Iberojet] 23 June 2022

From 15 November 2022 to 30 April 2024, Wamos Air operated the Auckland - Perth route daily using their own aircraft, the A330-200, as well as their own crew and pilots, on behalf of Air New Zealand.{{Cite web|url=https://www.airnewzealand.com/wamos-flight-experience|title =airnewzealand.com - The Wamos Air experience|date = 26 April 2024}}

From 1 June 2024, Wamos Air will operate two Airbus A330-200s from Manila to Sydney and Melbourne on behalf of Philippine Airlines for a five-month period due to supply chain issues.{{cite web |title=PAL taps Wamos Air for A330 capacity boost amid supply chain crunch |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/airlines/pal-taps-wamos-air-for-a330-capacity-boost-amid-supply-chain-crunch/158352.article |website=Flight Global |access-date=20 May 2024}}

On 16 October 2024, Wamos Air was acquired by the holding company Abra Group, which also owns Avianca and Gol Linhas Aéreas.{{cite web|url=https://www.flightglobal.com/strategy/abra-closes-acquisition-of-wamos-air/160325.article|title=Abra closes acquisition of Wamos Air|website=Flight Global|access-date=16 October 2024|author=Pilar Wolfsteller}}{{cite web|url=https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airlines-lessors/avianca-parent-abra-group-completes-wamos-air-buy|title=Avianca Parent Abra Group Completes Wamos Air Buy|website=Aviationweek.com|date=17 October 2024}}
