Maersk Air I/S was until 1996 organized as a partnership (), which was again owned by two subsidiaries within the Maersk Group. This allowed the company to report less detailed accounts, and hindered competitors from gaining as good a picture of the company's economic situation. Maersk Air I/S was reorganized in 1996. The partnership model was abandoned and instead, the airline became a limited company () directly under the mother company. Star Air on its side became a subsidiary of Maersk Air.
