Green Airlines is a German virtual airline company based at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport.[1]

History[]

The company was established in October 2020. The virtual airline's flights were originally planned to be operated by Danish Alsie Express[2] while later French Chalair Aviation stepped in.[3]

Green Airlines then announced contracts with Bulgarian ALK Airlines and Romanian to operate their seasonal leisure services from Rostock and Paderborn.[4] In June 2021, Green Airlines also announced the launch of five leisure destinations from Groningen Airport in the Netherlands.[5] They also started to serve Zurich Airport.[6] However, in July 2021, Green Airlines announced the suspension of all international flights including leisure charters stating the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual airline now also plans to acquire its own operations license.[7]

In August 2021, a dispute between Green Airlines and another current wetlease contractor, German Airways, has been reported resulting in the termination of their agreement. A few weeks prior, ALK Airlines also pulled out of their mutual affiliation bringing back Chalair Aviation to operate the currently remaining German domestic flights.[3] Shortly after, German Airways sued Green Airlines for up to 11 million € for alleged breach of contract.[8] Also in August 2021, Green Airlines has been accused of greenwashing after indiscrepancies arose regarding their supposedly supported ecological projects and organizations.[9]

In October 2021, Green Airlines announced it would start domestic operations from Weeze Airport in 2022.[10] However in November 2021, Green Airlines announced it would pause all flight activities until February 2022.[11]
