History
In 2002, Elbe Air operated a fleet of three Dassault Falcon 20 jets.[2] In the same year, reports surfaced about poor safety and security standards with the airline. A former pilot had filed a report with the German Federal Aviation Office, concerning poorly trained pilots and ageing aircraft, which had not been properly maintained.[2]
The airline filed for bankruptcy and was liquidated in 2008.[4]
