LagunAir stopped operating on 31 January 2005, allegedly due to excessive technical difficulties in operating from León Airport and the mismanagement of the latter by Aena. In February 2005 it was bought and relaunched by AGELCO Group, acronym for Agrupación de Empresarios Leoneses de la Construcción, a local Leonese investor group. The company and the investors received extensive local government support. The company resumed operations on 1 March 2005.
