The ticket seller Green Airlines had the last - at least temporarily - charter flights between Paderborn and Westerland carried out at the weekend. Embraer Phenom 300 business jets from Pad Aviation were used as an “environmentally friendly aircraft”.

The demand on this route was not particularly great, because the ticket dealer was rarely able to get more than a single-digit number of travelers per flight to buy tickets. In the end, individual legs were no longer performed at all. The aircraft was positioned all over Europe, which was not exactly environmentally friendly.

According to Naturefund, Green Airlines has only donated 60 trees so far. It was in mid-August 2021 according to a report by Airliners.de 52 pieces, so that the funds allocated to the environmental project should be kept within very narrow limits. Misleadingly, the ticket retailer does not link to his own donations to Naturefund on his website, but to the overall project. If you consider that the costs for tree donations are in the cent range and you multiply this by 60, you get a small amount. The many positioning flights all over Europe are by no means "compensated". Naturefund provides information under this link about how many trees “Green Airlines” actually donated.

From February 2022, Green Airlines plans to offer charter flights from Weeze and Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden. It remains to be seen whether there will actually be a recording. The carrier’s last expansion step ended in fiasco, whereby one strictly refuses to pay affected passengers the compensation according to the Passenger Rights Ordinance.
