Mannheim City Air starts: New airline conquers the sky!

Mannheim, Deutschland - Mannheim City Air started operating on April 18, 2025 and plans to establish itself as a serious airline in regional air traffic. The new virtual airline is being built after the bankruptcy of Rhein-Neckar Air, which registered bankruptcy on January 1, 2025. Mannheim City Air not only wants to be a short -term offer for super -rich, but also aims to offer efficient air traffic between important regional centers in Europe. This concept could be of great importance for the aviation industry in the region, since the Mannheim City airfield records up to 40,000 flight movements every year.

Although the number of starts and landings in Mannheim is comparable to that of Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, the number of passengers in Mannheim is significantly lower. The use of the regional airport is currently largely focused on sports and private flights as well as factory air traffic. Mannheim City Air relies on first -class customer service on both the ground and in the air. Flights are carried out with Dornier Do328 Airplanes of the German Airline Private Wings.

direct connections and expansion plans

The first flights of the airline offer direct connections from Mannheim to the popular isoles Sylt, Usedom and Elba. These goals had previously not been served by other airlines or only inadequate, which makes Mannheim City Air's offer particularly attractive. The flight times are specially tailored to the weekend and short -term trips, which makes traveling easier for commuting business travelers and vacationers.

Mannheim City Air also worked with Ink Innovation to implement a Departure Control System (DCS) for the Airports Mannheim City, Sylt and Marina di Campo on Elba. This cooperation is intended to help optimize the processes at the airports and to offer customers a smooth travel experience. The Airline website is currently under construction, but passengers can already book flights.

air traffic according to the pandemic

The newly launched air traffic takes place in a context in which the EU-wide air traffic in 2023 has recovered from the effects of Corona pandemic. According to current statistics, around 717 million passengers flew in the EU last year, which is 5 % below the 2019 level. In Germany, the number of passengers in 2023 was around 98.1 million, which means a decrease of 21 % compared to 2019.

The Airline Mannheim City Air is optimistic that it can score with its focus on regional air traffic and the need for quick travel options for passengers. The recovery of air traffic in Europe could also benefit the new airline, which aims to create a sustainable and trustworthy offer.

Developments in air traffic and the special needs of travelers in the region could significantly increase the chances of success of Mannheim City Air. Time will show whether the airline manages to become an integral part of the aviation landscape and to promote regional air traffic sustainably.
