How serius is this company ? Their english websites does not function, don't understand the Deuth language. Is this a charter company or a regular trafic company. If they are a trafic compay, does they have connections or coperations with other european countries ?

From my little knowledge of this company it is my understanding they have only three aircraft, Boeing 757-200's, leased from Condor. It is something one should consider when using a charter as to how many backup aircraft they have. The people who have waited at airports for flights that are late or no-shows due to aircraft mechanical or sheduling problems know about the downside of charters. Regards, PJT
