Tyrolean Jet Services (TJS) was established in 1978 as Austria's first executive air operator, operating business jets and management jets for Swarovski's Corporate Flight Department and for clients on the worldwide air charter market.
History[]
The company was founded in 1958 as Aircraft Innsbruck, by Christian Schwemberger-Swarovski and . The division operated business flights. At this time Innsbruck had scheduled services to Zurich only.

In April 1980, a de Havilland Canada Dash 7 flew the first scheduled flight from Innsbruck to Vienna and Zurich. In the first year in business, 38,500 passengers took the flight, which justified a second machine from May 1981. In 1985 Tyrolean Airways operated a twin-engine de Havilland Canada Dash 8 with 37 seats and the company was renamed Tyrolean Jet Service.
