History
Established in May 1992, Albatros Airlines began its services utilizing Boeing 727-200 aircraft to ferry German holidaymakers to popular destinations in Turkey. The airline halted its operations in 1993 and leased its Boeing 727-200 fleet to Macedonian Airlines. Operations recommenced during the summer of 1995 with a fleet comprising Boeing 737-200 and Yakovlev Yak-42 planes. The company ultimately terminated all flights in March 1996 due to a drop in bookings from German travel agencies following the Birgenair incident.
