Everything about Hapag-lloyd Express totally explained
Hapag-Lloyd Express (previously also marketed as
HLX.com) was a
no-frills, high-frequency, express
airline based in
Hanover,
Germany. It operated services within Germany and to destinations in
Europe. In January
2007 in a restructuring, it combined its operations with
Hapag-Lloyd Flug to become
TUIfly. While Hapag-Lloyd Flug operates all TUIfly flights, Hapag-Lloyd Express markets them.
History
Hapag-Lloyd Express was established in 2002 and began operations in December 2002. Its main competitors were more established no-frills carriers such as
Ryanair and
easyJet, as well as other coeval low-cost startups such as
Germanwings or
transavia.com, consequently being constantly engaged in a
price war with these carriers. In an attempt to win this price war, it expanded rapidly in the first half of 2004, announcing many new routes that it viewed as underserved by other airlines. Examples of such routes include
Dublin to
Hamburg and
Stuttgart, both of which are no longer in operation. In January
2007, Hapag-Lloyd Express and Hapag-Lloyd Flug were merged into the cooperation
TUIfly in an attempt to reorganize
TUI's airline portfolio.
Services
Hapag-Lloyd Express offered no-frills services to destinations in Germany and Europe. Most of them are now operated by
TUIfly.
Fleet
All Hapag-Lloyd Express aircraft were
wetleased from Hapag-Lloyd Flug or
Germania. The majority of the fleet consisted of
Boeing 737 aircraft, the last
Fokker 100 left Hapag-Lloyd Express in
2006.
Livery
Hapag-Lloyd Express aircraft were highly recognisable due to their distinctive "New York taxi" style: a checkered black and white line wrapped around a yellow body, aiming to convey the image of quick and cheap point-to-point service.
