About

Chair Airlines (previously Germania Flug), simply known as chair, is a Swiss airline that offers scheduled passenger and charter flights. The airline is based at Zürich Airport and offers regular and seasonal flights all throughout Europe and to parts of West Asia and North Africa. Including its hub, the airline flies to more than 20 destinations in over 10 different countries. 

The airline was launched in 2014 as a subsidiary of Germania. It initially flew charter flights for a Swiss travel agent named HotelPlan under the airline brand HolidayJet. A year later, the airline established its own name and branding, Germania Flug, but still continued to fly charter services in collaboration with HolidayJet and HotelPlan. In 2016, after stopping its partnership with HolidayJet, the airline launched scheduled flights to destinations around Europe, West Asia and to parts of North Africa.

The airline rebranded once more in 2019. After Germania ceased operations due to financial difficulties, Germania Flug rebranded as Chair Airlines, which is the airline that it flies as today.
