History

Wirtschaftsflug was founded in 1972 by Heinz Dieter Hoppenstaedt. It initially started with business flights and air taxi services. In 1979 an Aero Commander was added for cargo flights along with an F 27 leased from WDL Aviation. In 1980 Wirtschaftsflug began cooperating with newspaper Extra-Tip while operating flights to major european cities from Kassel[2][3]

Around the same time Wirtschaftsflug began using the Lockheed C 100 to regions like Africa and the Middle East[4][2]. In 1982 Wirtschaftsflug ceased operations.
