Germania Fluggesellschaft mbH
"Holiday airline Germania collapsed on Tuesday and canceled all flights immediately, the latest to succumb to turbulence in the European airline industry as it failed to secure financing to navigate a short-term cash squeeze....The carrier’s 37 aircraft mainly flew German sun-seekers to more than 60 destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The Berlin-based company, founded in 1986, also offered flights to less conventional destinations including Iran, Iraq and Armenia." (Reuters, 2/5/2019).

"A direct Tehran-Berlin flight re-launched after 10 years during a ceremony attended by Iran's Ambassador to Germany Ali Majedi at Berlin's Schoenefeld Airport, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported Feb. 23. German company Germania Airlines, which has signed an agreement with Iran's Civil Aviation Organization to launch five weekly flights to Iran from Germany, inaugurated its first direct-flight from Berlin to Tehran on the evening of Feb. 22. Majedi said that re-launching direct flights between Iran and Germany capitals is an important development, adding there has been growing demand for flights between the two countries as a result of the expansion of German-Iranian economic ties. Germania Airlines is going to conduct two weekly flights from Berlin to Tehran and two from Dusseldorf to Tehran as well as one flight per week from Hamburg to Mashhad."
