InterSky, legally Intersky Luftfahrt GmbH, was an Austrian airline headquartered in Bregenz, which operated scheduled services from its base at Friedrichshafen Airport, Germany, to major cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as seasonal holiday flights to the Mediterranean from other airports as well. The airline ceased operations on the evening of the 5 November 2015 due to financial difficulties.
Intersky was established in November 2001 and started operations on 25 March 2002. At that time the company was owned by Renate Moser (50%), then first female airline CEO, Rolf Seewald (35%), the founder and owner of regional airline Rheintalflug, and other shareholders (15%).
As of 2010, the airline had 110 employees. In October 2010, InterSky announced to quit their long-running route from Friedrichshafen to Cologne due to the heavy competition by Germanwings which also started the same route a few months earlier. InterSky also abandoned plans to add a fifth aircraft to the fleet for the time being.
In July 2011 Intersky announced that Renate Moser and Rolf Seewald will take over again the operative management after four years absence. Claus Bernatzik, the son of Renate Moser, left the company by end of the year. In August 2012 it was announced that InterSky has ordered two ATR 72-600s. The two aircraft were scheduled to be delivered in December 2012 and March 2013. These aircraft became the first ATRs to be operated by an Austrian carrier.
In the same month the airline also announced to open a new base at Hamburg Airport. This plan was however cancelled in October 2012, after OLT Express Germany also announced to connect Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden with Hamburg as InterSky also planned. Since OLT Express Germany filed for bankruptcy shortly after, InterSky started to operate the route in March 2013 on a wet-lease contract with Avanti Air. However, this route ceased in January 2014 as Germanwings announced to start this route as well from spring 2014.
