AIR UNIQON Restores Direct Berlin-Lake Constance Air Link After a Decade
Berlin, January 12 – AIR UNIQON has successfully re-established a direct air link between Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance, a connection that had been absent for ten years. This new domestic route aims to bridge the German capital region with a vital economic and industrial center in southern Germany, offering significant benefits for both business and leisure travelers.
Reviving a Crucial Connection
The newly launched service operates four times a week, specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The schedule is primarily designed to cater to the needs of business travelers, providing convenient options for same-day travel. Flights are operated by Avanti Air, utilizing 78-seat Bombardier Dash 8-400 aircraft, with an estimated flight time of approximately 90 minutes.
This initiative marks a significant development for regional connectivity. The direct link is expected to enhance accessibility between Berlin and the export-oriented economy of the Lake Constance region, fostering economic growth and facilitating travel for commuters and tourists alike.
AIR UNIQON: A Virtual Airline Focused on Regional Connectivity
Founded in 2025 and based at Friedrichshafen Airport, AIR UNIQON operates as a virtual airline. It was established with the support of the regional business community, indicating a strong commitment to local economic development. The airline’s operational model focuses on selected point-to-point domestic routes from regional airports, aiming to serve specific market needs.
The flight schedule for the Berlin-Friedrichshafen route was meticulously developed in close coordination with local companies. This collaborative approach ensures that the timings, including early morning and late evening departures, are optimized to support efficient same-day business travel. Additionally, the schedule also accommodates short leisure trips, offering flexibility for various travel purposes.
Strategic Importance for Business and Tourism
Executives from both the airport and AIR UNIQON have underscored the strategic importance of this re-established connection. They highlighted the improved access it provides between the capital region and the thriving Lake Constance economy. This direct route is anticipated to streamline travel for professionals, enabling more efficient business operations and fostering new economic opportunities.
Furthermore, the service is expected to benefit tourists on both ends of the route. Berlin, with its rich history and vibrant cultural scene, becomes more accessible to residents of the Lake Constance area, while Friedrichshafen and the picturesque Lake Constance region offer an attractive destination for Berliners seeking leisure and relaxation.
The reintroduction of this direct air link after a decade-long hiatus is a testament to the growing demand for efficient regional travel options and the collaborative efforts of AIR UNIQON, Avanti Air, and the regional business community to enhance connectivity within Germany.
