History and destinations
The company was founded on June 24, 1986 and began flight operations that same year. In addition to the scheduled connection Cologne / Bonn - Bremen - Wilhelmshaven , both subsequent onward flights to East Frisian islands and air transport on demand were offered at fixed times. ESS was able to fall back on aircraft of the types Aero Commander 520 , Aero Commander 720 and Swearingen SA.226TC Metro II . From the end of 1986, the Hamburg Airport was served from Saarbrücken ; a stopover was made in Hanover .
In 1988 one flew to Lyon , although the DLT at the same time - also from Saarbrücken - started flights to Hamburg under Lufthansa flight numbers. ESS could not withstand the competition and finally had to cease flight operations on April 8 of the same year. The company was finally dissolved on July 2, 1992.
fleet
The fleet of the ESS aviation company consisted of two Swearingen SA.226TC Metro II with the aircraft registration D-IHRB and D-IESS when operations were discontinued in April 1988 .
