Germania Express (previously Flynext ) was a German airline based in Schönefeld . Since October 2012, she has taken over flight operations for the West African Gambia Bird in wet lease , in which she was also 90 percent involved.
history
Hans Rudolf Wöhrl - owner of Intro Aviation GmbH, which already held shares in LTU Austria , which was also called Flynext at times - announced in January 2011 that it would found a new airline called Flynext and offer European flights with two Airbus A319-100s . For this purpose, an investment was made in the company Alpha Exec, which specializes in business aviation and is based in Schwabach.
On June 1, 2011 the new airline started operations. For the first flight, an A319 from FLYNEXT Luftverkehrs GmbH took off for the Berlin airline Germania from Berlin-Tegel Airport to the Greek island of Kos . In the following summer months, Flynext wanted to operate two A319s exclusively for Germania. One jet should be stationed at Bremen Airport, the other at Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden Airport .
On September 23, 2011 it was announced that Flynext was completely taken over by Germania . As a result, Flynext was renamed Germania Express in June 2012. The parent company Germania used this name at times. The operating license was suspended on November 1, 2013.
fleet
When operations ceased, the Germania Express fleet consisted of three aircraft:
- 3 Airbus A319-100 with the aircraft registration D-ASTA , D-ASTB (operated for Gambia Bird ) and D-ASTC
