Saarland Airlines

Saarland Airlines was founded in 1992 by German entrepreneur Josef Tabellion to take over Turkish charter airline Nobel Air's German routes.

Operations began on April 4, 1992 between Düsseldorf and Dalaman with a Boeing 737-300 leased from Maersk Air.

When this tour operator went bankrupt at the end of June 1993, Saarland Airlines existence was in jeopardy.
