Vaclav Fischer: A journey with ups and downs in the tourism industry
Vaclav Fischer was born in 1954 in Prague and in 1978 he emigrated to Hamburg, acquiring German citizenship in 1984. He has been active in the travel industry for decades. Fischer Reisen was founded in 1979 and by the mid-1980s it had become one of the largest independent tour operators in Germany.
In 1996 he sold the company to Condor, allowed his hometown of Prague, and used the financial benefit to found an airline. However, in the same year, the company went bankrupt.
Fischer had announced his return to the tourism industry from Spring 2024, announcing the launch of the airline, which would use two Boeing 737-700s for routes from Hamburg, Munich and Dresden to the Balearic Islands, Malaga and the Canary Islands, but this did not happen.
