Cirrus AirlinesCirrus Airlines (founded in 1995) is a German airline, operating both charter flights and scheduled flights. The company employs around 450 people. History Cirrus was founded in February 1995 as Cirrus Luftfahrtgesellschaft mbH. Its home airport was Saarbrcken Airport. In March 1998, Cirrus Airlines received its licence to operate scheduled service between Saarbrcken and Hamburg. In August 1999, Cirrus took over the route from Mannheim to Berlin Tempelhof from Cosmos Air. An important step was taken in February 2000, upon the 5th anniversary of Cirrus Airlines, when it established a cooperative partnership with German owned Lufthansa and became a Team Lufthansa franchise member. In April that year, Cirrus received licences to operate regularly scheduled service between Mannheim and Hamburg and between Berlin and Sylt/Westerland. From 2001 onwards, Cirrus steadily expanded its business, with scheduled services opening between Saarbrcken and Berlin Tempelhof (March 2001), between Berlin Tempelhof and Usedom (May 2002), between Rostock Laage and Munich (May 2002), between Leipzig/Halle and Zurich (January 2003), between Leipzig/Halle and Hamburg (January 2003), between Dresden and Hamburg (March 2003), between Frankfurt and Skopje, Macedonia (April 2003), between Leipzig/Halle and Cologne (May 2003), between Frankfurt and Ohrid (June 2003), between Mannheim and Dresden (March 2004), between Dresden and Zrich (April 2004), between Mannheim and Olbia (May 2004) and between Munich and London City (May 2004).
