Ink is supporting the launch of Mannheim City Air, a virtual airline based in the strategic hub of Mannheim. The airline aims to improve connectivity for passengers seeking shorter, point-to-point journeys across Europe. Established in December 2024, Mannheim City Air commenced operations on 18 April 2025, aiming to provide efficient and comfortable air travel between key regional centres. Its service offering responds to growing passenger demand for shorter, more convenient alternatives to longer ground journeys. In preparation for its launch, Mannheim City Air partnered with Ink Innovation, implementing its market-proven Departure Control System (Ink DCS) to support efficient ground operations. Initially, Ink DCS will be deployed across three locations: the airline’s home base at Mannheim City Airport (MHG), Sylt Airport (GWT) in northern Germany, and Marina di Campo Airport (EBA) on the Italian island of Elba.
