Germania Flug of Switzerland becomes Chair Airlines

Germania Flug of Switzerland has announced it has become Chair Airlines (stylized as “chair”). The Germania brand has been tarnished since the demise of the original Germania of Germany.

The company describes its new brand:

Chair Airlines โ€“ Switzerlandโ€™s Freshest Airline

A company needs a strong foundation. A chair has stable legsโ€š a load-bearing seatโ€š and a strong backrest to support you โ€“ and as an airlineโ€š we offer you a place to sit backโ€š dreamโ€š and fly away. With our roots in Switzerland and our feet firmly on the groundโ€š we stay true to ourselves while still adapting to changes in market conditions. Our key characteristics are professionalism coupled with the freshness of a new airline: clear and simpleโ€š reliable and safeโ€š dynamic and flexibleโ€š friendly and attentiveโ€š honest and approachable.

Fleet and Business Areas

Chair Airlines operates a fleet of three Airbus A319 aircraft with 150 economy class seats each at Zurich Airport. The average age of the aircraft is ten years.

As a charter airlineโ€š we offer our passengers flight connections for beach holidays in warm-water destinations and short city trips. We also build bridgesโ€š connecting passengers living in Switzerland with their homeland. Chair Airlines is a reliable partner for special flights and ad-hoc charter flightsโ€š for example for sports clubsโ€š special eventsโ€š and companies.

Trusting partnerships with tour operators and travel agencies form the basis of our business concept. Furthermoreโ€š our close collaboration with tourist information offices enables us to move with the times and recognize travelersโ€™ needs.

On the Go Together

At Chair Airlinesโ€š people take center stage in everything we do โ€“ our passengersโ€š our more than 150 employeesโ€š and our partners. Our experienced pilots and professional flight attendants on board and our highly qualified administration team on the ground ensure that our passengers can enjoy safeโ€š smooth flights and make their flight experience as pleasant as possible. Chair Airlines stands for respect and fairnessโ€š and COOPERATION is a matter of huge importance to us.
