From January 17, 2025, the new virtual airline "FlyDBA" will offer its first connection between Stuttgart and Münster/Osnabrück. The flight, which will initially only be operated on Fridays, marks the return of "Deutsche BA" under a new brand.
Although the airline does not operate its own aircraft, the flights are operated in cooperation with Franconia Air Service. Small Diamond Aircraft DA-62 aircraft, which can only carry five passengers, are used for the route.
The "FlyDBA" pursues a more regional strategy and is primarily aimed at business travelers who want to save time. Ticket prices are around 600 to 700 euros. Martin Michael, who is behind the airline, emphasizes that the route is initially a test run and that no new routes are planned. With this connection, the airline wants to fill the gap that arose after Lufthansa stopped flying between Frankfurt and Münster/Osnabrück.
The former "Deutsche BA", which was founded by British Airways in 1992 and merged into Air Berlin in 2008, has nothing in common with the new "FlyDBA". Nevertheless, Michael is relying on the brand and an innovative, flexible business strategy.
