History

The airline was established in 1973.[2] It offered scheduled passenger flights from Mannheim to Oberpfaffenhofen in the 1980s and to Leipzig and Dresden in the early 1990s, following the German Reunification. In 1997, Arcus-Air Logistic set up a subsidiary named Cosmos Air, which operated scheduled flights from Mannheim to Berlin and London, using the respective city-centre airports London City Airport and now-closed Tempelhof Airport, using Dornier Do 328 aircraft.c.[3] In 1999, Cosmos Air was sold to Cirrus Airlines, bringing an end to scheduled flights operated by Arcus-Air Logistic.[3] On 18. June 2020 Am 18. Juni 2020 Arcus Air Logistics und Arcus Air OBC were acquired by Chapman Freeborn, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group.[4] The two Dorniers will be owned by Chapman Freeborn but will be operated by the Arcus Air Group.

gollark: Ah yes, so now you need to have insanely huge amounts of energy, very helpful.
gollark: You do need to have available matter to convert on the other end, and the whole concept is very hard to implement.
gollark: If you disæssemble something into its constituent particles or something, record every detail of their state (which might be impossible too?) and transmit it to another thing which reassembles it, that's lightspeed teleportation, ish.
gollark: I don't think they're canonically confirmed as doing that, and also it makes no sense.
gollark: It's still limited to lightspeed.
