Plane’s Reference

Über Germanair:

Germanair was a German charter airline. On March 1, 1977, the company merged with Bavaria Fluggesellschaft to form Bavaria Germanair.

The airline Germanair emerged from Südwestflug GmbH, which was founded in Baden-Baden in 1964. The Stuttgart company Contracta, which marketed holiday homes in southern Europe, acquired a majority stake in Südwestflug in the spring of 1965. In September 1965, the first of three Douglas DC-6s was purchased, with which the company flew potential customers to Spain and the Canary Islands for house viewings. After several changes of ownership, the company was renamed Germanair on September 1, 1968 and the company headquarters moved to Frankfurt.

Germanair GmbH was quickly able to win numerous tour operators as customers and ordered new BAC 111-500 aircraft. Because these were not yet available in the 1969 summer season, the company used a leased Douglas DC-9-15 and BAC 111-400 in addition to its own Douglas DC-6s. On October 16, 1969, Germanair took delivery of the first of its six BAC 111-500s and at the same time gradually phased out the propeller-driven DC-6s. In the 1970 financial year, the company carried around 470,000 passengers with a pure jet fleet. In the fall of 1970, Germanair GmbH was bought by the Munich entrepreneur Josef Schörghuber, who had also owned a minority stake in Bavaria Fluggesellschaft since 1968. In the spring of 1971, the company ordered four Fokker F28 aircraft, which were used from 1972. In the winter of 1971/72, a technical cooperation developed with the airline Atlantis, in which the Schörghuber Group was also involved. Wide-body aircraft of the Airbus A300 type were ordered for further expansion. With the delivery of the first aircraft on May 23, 1975, Germanair became the first German operator of this aircraft type.

At the end of 1974, Bavaria Fluggesellschaft also became the sole property of the Schörghuber Group, which led to a close collaboration with Germanair. In May 1975, Ernst Uhl was appointed joint managing director of the two companies. Both airlines continued to fly under their own brands, but cooperated in all areas with a view to a merger. This was completed on March 1, 1977. The merger resulted in the airline Bavaria Germanair, which has since - after further mergers - been absorbed into TUIfly.
