The story
The airline was founded in December 2010 following the demise of Hamburg International in late 2010, which had left a void in the German holiday flights market. The first Hamburg Airways revenue flights were carried out in late March 2011. During this year summer season an Airbus A319 was additionally operated on behalf of Condor.
In December 2014 the airline's Air Operator Certificate was suspended by German aviation authorities and ceased flying. Aircraft were returned to lessors, but the airline said it hoped to resume operations in 2015. The last available financial figures show losses of 10,8 million Euros in 2012. The airlines' three aircraft have been transferred to and stored at Düsseldorf Airport. As of May 2015, all three former Hamburg Airways aircraft were at the PEMCO hangar located at Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Florida, USA to be overhauled and put into service for a US airline.
