Why should this airline be added?
A strange odd little airline, based in Germany and operating out of, you guessed it Berlin, this airline originally flew regional flights from Berlin to West Germany and Denmark, however, the owner and founder, Captain Richard “Dick” Twomey, a former British Airways pilot and general manager in Berlin, wanted to expand out of the highly competitive regional market in West Berlin so leased 2 737-300s, one it subleased onwards to Monarch as it was denied rights to fly to Frankfurt. It used this remaining 737-300 to fly on routes to the Mediterranean and the Canaries working with TUI and another tour operator Berlin Flugring before with the collapse of the Berlin Wall and reuniting of the Germany’s, it was merged into Germania as no longer was there the need for airlines to operate with another country to fly in and out of West Berlin as there wasn’t a USSR to complain about it (Similar to how the Asia’s all existed for Taiwan flights).I’ve suggested it as its own airline as it was its own airline, but it’d be a fantastic addition as a retro livery for Germania if that comes in the future as it’s a funky airline showing a strange time in European and especially German history.
