Myfly Airbus A330-200 2007 2019-

Myfly.com was originally founded in 2000 after a french travel agency chain MyVoyage realized their opportunity to start a airline to help streamline their holiday package operations leasing a fleet of three Boeing 737-400's from the American Aviation Leasing Company and starting their operations with flights originating from Paris to destinations like Antalya and and Milan offering competitive rates with travel packages. The company up until 2005 would continue to expand opening up revenue passenger services allowing passengers to book a ticket directly from the Airlines new website. They would also change the name of the airline portion of their business to Myfly but keeping MyVoyage M logo on the tail. In 2006 a new CEO would take over and start leaning into the international low cost passenger market by going to the American Aviation Leasing Company and extending a line of credit for ten Airbus A330-200's and plans to retire their single isle fleet by 2015.

In 2007 the first MyFly Airbus A330-200 would arrive. F-GRSW would enter the fleet sporting a new livery for Myfly introducing a new font and a much more stylized image for the brand. The airline would continue to grow their long haul network through the 2008 financial crisis though in 2009 the now Amerilease would threaten to repossess three of the airlines 737's as the airline had missed payments on the specific aircraft. The airline would scramble to attempt to pay off the leases but only manage to pay off one of the two airframes with the other being sized moments before the aircraft departed Athens. This would not be the last of Myfly's financial troubles. In 2010 the airline would return the last of their 737's relying entirely on their fleet of Airbus A330-200/300 models to operate their passenger services and cutting most of their low density destinations. This would appear to work as the airline continued to show progress with a model of buying or leasing older airbus a330 aircraft and continued to expand to more worldwide markets.

2017 would see Myfly enter a contract with Hawaii's Makani airlines to operate high capacity flights for the airline with a single A330. This contract would be a lucrative deal for the airline until Makani cancelled the contract after demand under-estimates and harsh competition. F-GRSN would remain in a Makani livery operating charter flights for a travel agency out of Florida when it was repossessed by Amerilease in Tampa in 2019 after the airline went under.

In 2019 the airline succumbed to their debt and cancelled the remainder of their flights causing thousands of passengers to be stranded around the world and the remainder of their fleet returned to their debtors. A repatriation effort was undertook with airlines offering lower fairs to passengers stuck around the world.
