The airline was established and started operations in 1961 as a charter company with a Douglas DC-6 under the name of Adria Aviopromet (Adria Airways). Later, extra DC-6s were bought from KLM. In 1968, the company changed its name to Inex-Adria Airways and introduced its first jet type, the Douglas DC-9. Its name was changed after aligning with Belgrade-based trading group Interexport, but reverted to the original title after that association ended in May 1986. On September 10, 1976, in the worst mid-air disaster to this point, 176 people died when a British Airways Hawker Siddeley Trident and an Inex Adria Douglas DC-9 collided over Zagreb. The collision was attributed to an Air Traffic Control error.

Its fleet was mostly employed in charter work throughout Europe. On December 1st 1981 an Inex-Adria DC-9 crashed in the mountain while approaching Campo Dell'Oro Airport in Ajaccio, Corsica killing 178 Slovenian tourists. International scheduled flights were added, initially to Larnaca, in November 1983. By the late 1980s, and after the name change back to Adria, it purchased several Airbus A320 aircraft.
