Short History
Orca Air was first founded in 1996 by Diaa El-Gabbani and Osama Farid and was the first air taxi service in the Middle East. But due to unexpected events such as the death of El-Gabbani in an air crash in 2000, then a slump in the tourism industry after September 11, 2001 and inadequate management, Orca Air's operations were suspended in 2003.[1]
