History
The history of OFD reaches back to its predecessor, which was founded in November 1958 as Ostfriesische Lufttaxi - Dekker und Janssen OHG - or OLT for short - to offer ad-hoc charters and sightseeing flights in East Frisia. By 1961, the demand had increased heavily and by 1968, OLT was the largest German regional airline.[3] During the 1970s, as new investors were found, OLT expanded its services with scheduled flights between German cities such as Münster/Osnabrück-Frankfurt.[3]
From the late 1970s to the 1990s, the growing company has been reorganised several times to reflect their different fields of activity and new ownerships.[3] In September 2011, as the scheduled flights section of OLT was sold to Polish investors (and since went bankrupt), all island services were transferred into the independent company OFD which it is since.[3]
