History

Germania was founded in April 1978 as SAT in Cologne and started operations in September 1978. It was renamed Germania in June 1986. In 1992 the head office was relocated to Berlin-Tegel. In the same year Germania won the bid for flight services from the old German capital (Bonn) to the new one (Berlin) on behalf of the German government, establishing a short-lived "Beamten-Shuttle" (shuttle for civil servants). The airline's main business is now the charter business: Germania flies, amongst others, on behalf of the German travel concern TUI and the German airline TUIfly.
