When Gerd Brandecker founded Cirrus Airlines in 1995, his concept for a new airline was clearly and ambitiously defined: See to it that all business activities, ranging from technical to operational, have an indisputable focus on quality. This includes excellent service and close customer proximity.

Today, Cirrus Airlines is one of the most renowned airlines in Germany. The airline with the code “C9” has established itself as a successful and independent, quality company with an extensive network. Cirrus Airlines carried more than 400,000 passengers in 2010.

Connected to Lufthansa and Swiss International Airlines

Cirrus Airlines connects the most important German and European economic centres and metropolises to each other and has eagerly and consistently pursued its networking strategy within international air traffic since the very beginning.
The airline has been a Codshare Partner of Lufthansa since 2000 and became a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2005. This allows the airline to offer more destinations, more transfer options and the best connections to onward flights. Cirrus Airlines flies to both of the German Star Alliance hubs Frankfurt and Munich due to its partnership with Lufthansa and has a Codeshare Agreement with Swiss International Airlines for its Zurich flights, resulting in an overall tightly knit network. In 2008 Cirrus Airlines has become a member of the Federal Association of German Airlines.
