Interflug was the airline of the GDR, or the German Democratic Republic.Today, we just call it "
The Former East Germany" The airline was founded in 1958 and ceased operations in the 199o following the German Reunification. In its early days, the airline was nicknamed the East German Lufthansa as it shared a name with the West German Lufthansa that we are more familiar with. In fact it was called Deutsche Lufthansa but after some litigation by the West German, authorities, the airline lost the rights to the name Lufthansa. From 1962, it was simply known as Interflug, translated as International Flight.
