Hamburg Airways (officially registered as HHA Hamburg Airways Luftverkehrsgesellschaft mbH) was a modestly sized German charter carrier functioning from 2010 until 2014. Headquartered in Hamburg, the airline specialized in holiday flight services for tour operators across Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East, and Africa. Its operations were conducted from several German airports, with maintenance activities centralized at Hamburg Airport.
History
Established in December 2010 following the dissolution of Hamburg International, Hamburg Airways emerged to address a void within Germany's holiday flight sector. The airline commenced commercial services in March 2011 and operated an Airbus A319 on behalf of Condor during the summer season of 2011.
In December 2014, the airline’s Air Operator Certificate was revoked by German aviation authorities, resulting in an immediate suspension of its flight operations. Although the leased aircraft were returned, the company announced intentions to restart services in 2015. Financial disclosures revealed a net loss of €10.8 million in 2012. Subsequently, its three aircraft were relocated to Düsseldorf Airport for storage before being transferred to the PEMCO facility at Tampa International Airport, Florida, where they underwent refurbishment for future use by Allegiant Airlines.
