History

In September 2017, the airline received its air operator's certificate and commenced operations on 1 July 2017 [1] with flights to Heraklion and Hurghada.

After the demise of Germania — an airline for which Sundair had previously operated wet-leases — in early 2019, Sundair announced it would base aircraft at Dresden Airport and Bremen Airport and take over several of Germania's routes. [3] [4]

In May 2023, German tour operator Schauinsland Reisen acquired a majority ownership in Sundair and its Croatian sister company FlyAir41, subsequently revising the airlines' corporate design. [2] In August 2023, Sundair's CEO bought the naming rights of defunct Air Berlin. [5]

In 2024, Sundair announced it would withdraw the aircraft it had based at Kassel Airport since 2017. [6]

In 2025, a flight apparently bound for Palma had to return to Bremen. [7]

Destinations

Sundair operates flights from Germany to holiday destinations in the Mediterranean and North Africa mainly from Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Bremen Airport and Dresden Airport. As of September 2021, the airline serves the following charter destinations: [8]
