The airline was founded in 1996.
The European Union warned the airline in 2011 to improve its safety or face inclusion in the EU no-flight blacklist of banned airlines.[5][6]
As of 29 October 2018, Bin Air's air operator's certificate has been revoked by the Luftfahrtbundesamt forcing the airline to cease all operations.[7][4] It eventually regained it's license in December 2020.
