Template:Short description Template:Infobox Airline
Orbest, S.A. is a Portuguese charter airline headquartered in Lisbon and based at Lisbon Airport. It operates scheduled and charter flights in short- and long-haul operations out of Portugal and Spain both on behalf of tour operators, and jointly with its Spanish sister company Iberojet.
History
The company was set up in 2007 by the Orizonia Group. Orbest started operations with a single Airbus A330-200, registration CS-TRA. This aircraft remained with the airline until 2010, when the Orizonia Group announced an upgrade to a new and larger Airbus A330-300.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Following the collapse of the Orizonia Corporation, Orbest was purchased by the Barceló Group.[1] The group also created a new airline under the name Evelop Airlines for operations in Spain, which received airplanes from both Orbest and the former Orbest Orizonia Airlines; all aircraft owned by Orbest were thereafter jointly operated by Evelop.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On 8 December 2020, Orbest merged with Evelop and the two companies operated under the Iberojet name.
