Arcus-Air GmbH & Co. KG[1] is a German airline company. Arcus Executive Aviation is based in Zweibrücken, Germany and Arcus Air Logistics in Troisdorf, Germany operating chartered cargo and corporate flights out of Mannheim City Airport.[2]
History
The airline was established in 1973.[2] It offered scheduled passenger flights from Mannheim to Oberpfaffenhofen in the 1980s and to Leipzig and Dresden in the early 1990s, following the German Reunification. In 1997, Arcus-Air Logistic set up a subsidiary named Cosmos Air, which operated scheduled flights from Mannheim to Berlin and London, using the respective city-centre airports London City Airport and now-closed Tempelhof Airport, using Dornier 328 aircraft. In 1999, Cosmos Air was sold to Cirrus Airlines, bringing an end to scheduled flights operated by Arcus-Air Logistic.[3]
On 18 June 2020 Air Logistic and Arcus Air OBC were acquired by Chapman Freeborn, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group. The two Dornier 228 are to be owned by Chapman Freeborn but will be operated by the Arcus Air Group.[4]
