Passau-based air operator flYellow and AI start-up flyvbird have announced an operations-led partnership. The collaboration will provide the foundation for the launch of flyvbird’s flexible, on-demand flight services from Germany – on schedule to start from next month, with Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft operating on flYellow’s AOC.

Initial routes will connect regional airports including Friedrichshafen, Mönchengladbach, Münster/Osnabrück, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Hof-Plauen Airport and Berlin Strausberg, says flyvbird CEO Tomislav Lang. Passengers can already submit booking requests via flyvbird’s platform, with first flights scheduled for September 2025.

The alliance marries the expertise of flyvbird with its digital, agile platform and flYellow’s operational expertise as flying partner. Its Cessna Caravan (D-FEIC), to be operated exclusively for flyvbird, will serve both high-end charter flights and dynamic on-demand services with individual seat bookings.

“With flYellow, we have found a strong operational partner who shares our mission: to redefine regional flying—more flexible, sustainable, and truly customer-centric,” says Tomislav Lang, CEO of flyvbird.

“Our cooperation with flyvbird demonstrates how combining innovation with experience can drive the future of aviation,” adds Harald Eichberger, Managing Director of flYellow.
