In 1998, Fly Germany ordering 80 A320s to replace our older soviet aircrafts in our fleet. Since then, the Airbus A320 has become the workhorse of the domestic and shorter/medium-ranged routes across Europe.
Fast History:
After WW2, Flug Deutschland was divided into two airlines: Flug Deutschland, and Luft Deutschland. With Flug Deutschland staying in Western Germany the other became the airline for East Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, and then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic, Germany was reunited. And after seeing the more modern and more efficient Western aircrafts made by Boeing and Airbus; Luft Deutschland decided to merge together with Flug Deutschland and reunite the airline. The merger was a symbolic meaning to the ending of soviet influence in Germany. And after merging, the newly reunited airline ordered about 40 new A320 aircraft to replace the old soviet aircraft from Luft's fleet.
In 2015, the airline celebrated 20 years of reunification and the modern livery (Pictured) was born. The current livery was made to be a simple design, with the colors of Germany on the tail but still using the classic font that has been used for about 70 years.
The name doesn't make sense in German as it should be the imperative form of "to fly" rather than the noun "flight". That being said, the English name isn't that great anyway, as I've never been a big fan of Fly-names
