Rollins Air was a charter airline based in Honduras. It had Lockheed Tristars and Boeing 737s. In 2011 it was banned from operating in the European Union due to safety concerns.[1] On 24 September 2012, its air Operator's Certificate was revoked and it subsequently expired. On 4 December 2012 (after the AOC expired) the airline was removed from EU list of banned air carriers.[2]
Their charter flights were flying to Europe and Africa, and were used for pilgrimage to Mecca.[3]
