Sad news, I remember when I was a kid, which wasn't that long ago, maybe 17 years ago, I was on my hols in Crete waiting to go home. A plane landed at HER which I thought was Concorde, it was, as I learned about two years later an MD83 operated by Aero Lloyd!

So is this definately the end of the airline? No going back? It's come a bit out of the blue, as nothing has been mentioned in the rags about their situation. In fact, I haven't heard about the airline for a couple of years, good or bad, or plans. Well, maybe the silence said it all...

Who does this leave in Germany on the charter market? Condor, Hapag-Lloyd, Germania, Air Berlin and LTU can't think of any others at the minute. Another thing which makes it so surprising is that Germany has had a relatively low in/output of LCCs, if a charter airline was going to fail, I would have expected maybe Spain, Italy or the U.K.
