The story

Founded in 2005, the airline began scheduled flights in April to some domestic destinations and in the neighboring countries. The operations were not met with success, and following the withdrawal of its licence by Germany's Federal Office of Aviation on August 9, 2006 the company invoked an insolvency procedure with the Lübeck district court on August 16, 2006 and stopped flying.
