German Airways says that it will continue to grow in the coming years and become a pure jet operator. At present, the airline brand of Zeitfracht group in Germany still operates mainly Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprop aircraft, but the airline has already started the refleeting process and last year added four Embraer E190LR to its fleet, three more have been ordered for 2020.

In order to be able to deploy the aircraft quickly and reliably, the airline is currently planning to hire dozens of new pilots who are already trained on the Embraer E190 aircraft. Dominik Wiehage, COO of the Zeitfracht Group, says: “In the coming months, we will be able to offer dozens of new colleagues in the cockpit an attractive and secure job with an economically very stable airline. As a family-owned company, we attach great importance to an attractive working environment for our employees. This also includes extensive benefits under collective agreements, which is certainly not a matter of course in our industry.”
