Catalogue information
Interflug was the flag carrier of the German Democratic Republic from 1958 to 1991, based at Berlin-Schönefeld Airport. In the past the company was called 'Deutsche Lufthansa', just like its West German counterpart [1]. This created a lot of resentment between both companies and the governments of the two German states. From 1963 the name 'Interflug', until then only used by the charter department of the company, was used after a number of legal proceedings brought by the West German company, including before Yugoslav courts. Interflug mainly focused on the Eastern European countries. The airline also offered flights to Cuba and some African countries. Later, flights to Southeast Asia were also added. The company ceased operations in 1991; because of the German Reunification, government support was cut. Interflug was already at a loss and could not survive without this support. She was declared bankrupt on February 7, 1991, with the last flight to Vienna on April 30. (Source Wiki)
