History
Spark Airways was officially founded on February 22nd 2012 as a small company with large ambitions. On May 10th, the airline received its first aircraft - an Airbus A320 leased from Duvia Air. The first flight took place only a few weeks later from Amsterdam to Marsa Alam. Later that year, the airline received a second Airbus A320. This was also via a leasing agreement with Duvia Air.

In 2014, the airline began to experience growth and added 2 new Airbus A320’s and 1 Airbus A330-300 to its fleet. With the leasing contract set for a total of seven years, Spark was now able to fly long-haul services. 2017 saw the airline add two more Airbus A320’s (also leased from Duvia Air).
