History
editThe airline was established in 1965 as Nordseeflug Sylter Lufttransport and started seasonal scheduled services in August of the following year with a Douglas DC-3 from Hamburg to Westerland.
In April 1968 it was renamed Atlantis and received a permit from the Civil Aeronautics Board to operate transatlantic inclusive-tour flights to the United States with Douglas DC-8. Atlantis also operated affinity group charter flights and charter flights to destinations in the Mediterranean with McDonnell Douglas DC-9.
Despite the airline's cooperation with several tour operators it ceased operations on 19 October 1972 due to an uncertain financial perspective.[2][1]
