The concept of the airline based on the symbiosis of efficient low-cost airline and a service that should take on a business class. Given the fact that fewer and fewer companies are willing to pay for their employees business-class fares, but save budget airline rigorously on the Service, wanted to serve a niche market the airline. However, Primaris applied for on 10 October 2008 for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and put to flight operations from December 1, 2008.

Fleet

The orders for the production of Boeing aircraft were issued in 2004, so was Primaris the first U.S. airline, the newly developed Boeing has ordered 787. The order included 20 Boeing 787 to the expansion of its international flight operations, but was withdrawn by agreement in June 2006, without giving any reason.
