Airbahn Inc (stylized as airbahn) is a planned American airline headquartered in Irvine, California.

History

The airline was founded by Tariq M. Chaudhary (who is also the CEO and chairman of Pakistani airline Airblue).[3] The carrier plans to operate out of Southern California, to destinations in California, Nevada, and Western Canada. Airbahn will receive two A320s from Airblue. The planned service was to start somewhere in the second quarter of 2022, according to Airbahn.[4]

However, due to Airbahn's slow progress and asked for another extension timeline, the DOT has disagreed and revoked the startup Airbahn's Transport Certificate on May 19, 2022, instead.[5]
