The Bayerischer Flugdienst (actually Bayerischer Flugdienst Luftfahrtunternehmen GmbH with limited liability , BFD for short ) was a German airline based in Munich .
History and destinations
The Bayerische Flugdienst was created under the leadership of Hans Bertram in 1954, when Süddeutsche Lufttransport International GmbH merged with the flight agency Aero Express GmbH to form Aeroexpreß - Bayerischer Flugdienst GmbH . Bertram had already offered connections for skiers from Munich-Riem Airport using Swiss planes and Swiss pilots . The newly founded company offered sightseeing and charter flights as well as advertising and whooping cough flights with small aircraft. It had a capital of DM 80,000; the shareholders consisted of Fritz Mall, Hans Bertram and AW Zober.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the Bavarian Air Service offered air transport on demand at fixed times. In the period from 1970 to 1971 the routes Munich - Nuremberg and Nuremberg - Hanover and in 1971 the connections Munich - Friedrichshafen and Munich - Innsbruck were served . In addition to the destinations St. Moritz and Zurich , flights from Bayreuth via Hof to Frankfurt and from Hof via Bayreuth to Munich were included in the portfolio between 1972 and 1974 .
Finally, in February 1974, the Bavarian Air Service withdrew from scheduled air traffic and turned its attention to the creation of aerial photographs . Before the company was finally dissolved on August 19, 1975, this activity was transferred to Luftbildverlag Hans Bertram GmbH , a company that would later be one of the largest in this category in Europe.
