Germania Fluggesellschaft mbH, trading as Germania (German pronunciation: ['gɛrmani:a]), was[2][3] a privately owned German airline with its headquarters in Berlin.[4] It began by focusing on charter operations, then moved towards becoming a scheduled carrier, although some charter flights were still flown under the brand.[5] The change in strategy led to growth over its last few years, and Germania operated to destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East from several German bases. It carried 2.5 million passengers in 2009 and had around 850 employees as of summer 2014.[6] It declared bankruptcy on 4 February 2019 and it ceased operations on 5 February 2019.[3]
