Germania (Berlin) has taken the opportunity to celebrate its 25th anniversary as Germania with this special “Signature Jet”. The employees have signed the tail fin of a Boeing 737-300. The first flight of the Signature Jet will be on Thursday (July 7) from Berlin (Tegel) to Antalya as flight ST 1194. The airliner will leave the Germania fleet at the end of July 2011 and the tail will be displayed in the Germania hangar. Germania added the first Boeing 737-300 in 1987 and currently operates five Boeing 737-300s. The German airline will become an all-Airbus A319 operator in 2013.
The airline was originally founded in April 1978 as Special Air Transport (SAT) in Cologne and started operations on September 5, 1978 with a Fokker F.27.
In the spring of 1986, the airline was re-organized and its name was changed to the current Germania on June 1, 1986.
