ESTAIR LLC was established by three air travel enthusiasts in 1990, initially founded to be the Estonian airline company.
ESTAIR's
course of action was changed due to multiple external constants and
so ESTAIR, slowly but firmly, developed its operations and became
one amongst the first travel agencies in Estonia.
During
the early years of newly freed Estonia, our main business were
selling the airplane tickets, mostly of which were of Estonian Air's.
Step-by-step we evolved to full service travel agency and in 1994 Mr.
Kõu Lipp bought out other shareholders' stakes.
Since then has ESTAIR
LLC been a family operated full service travel agency.
In search of ways to widen the scope of business, ESTAIR opened its second subsidiary at Tallinn airport departure terminal hall.
As
we took over the ticketing office of Aeroflot, ESTAIR had entered
into the ticketing handling services business for airlines. Over the
next years a list of our clients included Aeroflot, Finnair, Czech
Airlines, AVIES, Lithuanian Airlines, airBaltic, Soeder Airlines,
Volare Airlines, easyJet, Ryanair, Norwegian.
Our
second subsidiary was opened in an Estonian city Rapla in 2003. We
believed that approaching people near their place of habitation has
potential as internet sales was still in its infancy and it was more
convenient and trustworthy for locals to have a travel agent on
place. The choice appeared to be correct as residents became to turn
to us more often. Business was steadily on rise.
During
the next years ESTAIR operated with three offices, two in Tallinn and
one in Rapla. But as e-commerce rose firmly and it became more and
more comfortable for people to make inquires through internet and
telephone, the idea of häving a separate office in rural areas lost its
appeal. And so we closed our office in Rapla in 2006.
During
the economical recession in the middle of 2000-nds made us rethink
our business model, which led ESTAIR to close its city office and
open so-called remote work stations. At the same time, Tallinn
airport ticketing office made a steady growth in business as we
stroke agreements with Finnair, Czech Airlines and Aeroflot.
