Südavia was a German regional airline based in Munich operating 1984-1990.
In 1984 a charter airline was founded in Munich under the name BN Rent-a-Plane. The name was changed to Südavia Fluggesellschaft in 1984 with scheduled services between Munich and Saarbrücken using Beech 90 aircraft. Further operations in 1984 included service to Verona, Italy. In 1986 services to Pisa begun and the fleet was expanded to include the larger Beech 200. At the end of 1987, the Dornier 228 was introduced and services to Strasbourg were begun.
In 1987 the Beech 1900 was introduced and since this was the first pressurized aircraft in the fleet, it was used for the Italian routes. In February 1988, Südavia began to work closely with DLT which led to the introduction of the Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia acquired from DLT. The rapid expansion of Südavia brought financial problems and some routes were taken over by DLT. It was during this time that DLT tried to take over Südavia but the deal failed and a group of investors was found that took over 44% of the company and with that capital the Brasilias were replaced by the Saab 340. But by April 1990 the mounting debt and financial troubles led to the revocation of the license and operations were suspended.[1]
