In March 2000, the name was changed to TAG City-Air, and some Metrolinerss, also for passenger transport, entered service in the fleet.
The evolution was rapid and after a further name change - City-Air - the fleet was enriched with more capacious aircraft: Saab 340s and an ATR 42-500 on domestic routes within Germany and on several international routes to Austria, Denmark, Hungary and Switzerland.[1] Unfortunately the plans set up proved too ambitious and the airline suspended operations in February 2004 and filed for insolvency.[2]
