In April 1982 it began Air Taxi operations with a Piper Navajo from West Berlin's Tempelhof airport. At the time West Berlin could only see operations by airline of the United States, France and Great Britain (it was technically an occupaid city since the end of WWII).
In January 1985 scheduled flight operations began beetween Berlin and Paderborn using Nord 262 aircraft. Operations were later expanded to Dortmund, Luxembourg, Augsburg and Braunschweig. In 1988 the Saab 340 was put into service for the Berlin-Hamburg route.
Following the reunification of Germany, Tempelhof Airways found itself not being able to compete with other German carriers and at the end of October 1990 all flights ceased. [1]
