Interflug
Interflug was the flag-carrying airline of the DDR (GDR) from 1963 until 1990. Its hub was Berlin’s Schönefeld Airport and it focused primarily on serving fellow Comecon nations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Although the DDR was portrayed as a hermit state within Western Europe it had a long and proud history of internationalism of which Interflug played a major role.
The airline was liquidated in 1991 after reunification as no buyers could be found when the Treuhand decided to reprivatise the airline along with all other East German state-owned enterprises. 2,900 jobs were lost.
