Danish Air Lines

The airplane, with the previous German navy registration 1364, was almost new, and had been refitted for passenger transport before being delivered from Germany.

In the early 1920s, the airline relied on four chartered Fokker-Grulich F.III aircraft,[2] but also Dornier Komet, Junkers F.13s and the Airco DH.9.

In the late 1920s, Fokker F.VII single-engined airliners replaced the somewhat problematic and expensive to operate Farmans.

In 1946, the airline started intercontinental traffic in cooperation with Det Norske Luftfartselskap and Svensk Interkontinental Lufttrafik in an SAS Agreement.

DDL thus changed status from being an active airline into becoming a holding company for the Danish interests within SAS.
