After the DLT had stopped the regular traffic between the airports Paderborn and Frankfurt in 1980, the Paderborn Flight Travel Service , in which both the Nixdorf Computer AG and the Paderborn district held shares, took over the responsibility for maintaining the connection. However, since Flight Travel Service itself was not involved in operational flight operations, it had City-Flug operate the route after a tender.
