New airline fraud? Fischer Reisen starts from Kassel without approval!
Kassel Airport is facing an exciting innovation: The new airline Fischer Air plans to offer flights under the Fischer Reisen umbrella from December 21, 2025. There have already been rumors about a possible cooperation, but despite all the anticipation, there are also many unanswered questions. This venture is a bold attempt to revitalize the regional airport, which had previously fallen into disrepair.
The first flights will be to destinations such as Mallorca and Crete and prices start at 99 euros for the flight to Mallorca and 149 euros to Crete. Managing director Lars Ernst sees this initiative as an opportunity to sustainably strengthen Kassel Airport and is also advertising the new offers on the airport's official homepage. However, it remains to be seen whether the airline can overcome all the associated challenges.
Challenges for Fischer Air
A major shortcoming is the new airline's current lack of operating license. Consumer advocate Peter Lassek has already expressed concerns about the payment options, as bookings can only be processed by bank transfer within 48 hours. These questionable conditions create a certain level of skepticism among potential travelers.
The situation is particularly critical because Fischer Reisen's address in the legal notice is assigned to Lake Constance Airport in Friedrichshafen. In addition, there is currently no office that has been set up and therefore no local contact - a clear call for caution for anyone interested in traveling.
Review of Fischer's story
The founder of Fischer Reisen, Václav Fischer, has been working in the travel business since 1980 and has already experienced some ups and downs. Fischer Reisen was sold to Condor in 1995, while Fischer Air went bankrupt in 2005. There were several attempts to revive the airline between 2019 and 2024, but were unsuccessful. Now both Kassel Airport and Fischer hope that this comeback will be more successful in 2025.
Fischer is currently planning to charter the Boeing 737-800 from Fischer Air in Slovakia in order to be able to offer the desired flights. Despite all the challenges, Kassel Airport is optimistic about the project and believes in the successful implementation of Václav Fischer's project.
Overall, the view of developments at Kassel Airport remains exciting. The announcement from Fischer Reisen arouses both anticipation and skepticism. It remains to be seen whether the airline can attract enough passengers with its new approach to get the airport out of financial trouble and at the same time offer those interested in traveling a safe offer. Let’s stay tuned to see how Fischer Air’s story continues.
