History
The original HAPAG company first became involved in the aviation industry in 1910, sponsoring Zeppelin flights.
Hapag-Lloyd Airlines was founded in 1972 when the conglomerate bought a few Boeing 727s to fly its cruise passengers from Germany to the cruises' ports of call. Through the years, the airline has added some regular passenger flights to its schedule, as well as new airplanes, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus aircraft equipment.
In the early 2000s the airline was joined by a sister, Hapag-Lloyd Express, a low-fare, high-frequency airline.
Fleet
The Hapag-Lloyd fleet consists of the following aircraft (at April 2005):
- 4 Airbus A310-200
- 3 Airbus A310-300
- 29 Boeing 737-800
