The predecessor was Cirrus Airlines. Their main routes were Mannheim to Berlin and Mannheim to Hamburg. After Cirrus filed for bankruptcy, RN Air was founded by large companies headquartered in the Rhine-Neckar region and took over a Dornier 328 Prop. Nowadays RN Air also flies Kassel (KSF) to Sylt (GWT).
I leave nearby Mannheim airport, airplanes regularly fly over my house before landíng there. I've only flown there once on a Do-328 to Berlin, somewhere around 2003, when it still was Cirrus Airlines.
I flew into Mannheim a couple times, it was always great fun, although you really feel that the airport is really small. The runway is not even 1000 meters and as seen in the video, the taxiway is even thinner, so the "airliner" will regularly backtrack on the runway. The ATCs in Mannheim greatly appreciate these scheduled flights though, on some sunny summer Sundays they're probably the only pilots really knowing what they're doing there. Just sitting and listening a while on the Mannheim Frequency will make you giggle (or panic) about how unprofessional and confused these leisure pilots are.
My university is located < 1km from the airport directly in the east final approach - sometimes we have to interrupt the lecture for a few seconds when a jet is landing :D
Sylt or Mannheim? I didn't know that Mannheim Airport was so close to the university? Or is it a university other than Universität Mannheim? I do know that the trains pass super close to the Uni.
Filex and David, I discovered a new airline you just have to try! It is called Air Chad and the national airline of the country of the same name. It has a total of 2 planes, both Dash 8's and I gather it is managed by Ethiopian. The best way to get one one is probably via Addis Ababa. Not only a unique National Airline to add to you goal, but you can also say if you fly one, you have actually flown on 50 per cent of their fleet, how many times can you say that. Who know, you fly back on the other, you may have done 100 per cent.
Friends of mine flew many years ago on a small airline in Sudan. They asked the cabin crew member how many planes the airline had. He said three. They said you must fly a lot of routes. He said not really, the other two crashed.
if you think Sylt airport is small, you need to check out Carajás airport in Parauapebas, Brazil, this airport is really tiny and supports 737's and A320's!
Try Cocos Keeling Islands airport in the Indian Ocean. Its airstrip takes regular Airbus A320-100/200 flights and is suitable in emergency for any airliner.
Das ist doch mal ein netter Kurzreport von dir Felix. Die Do-328 scheint auch gar nicht laut zu sein und geschmeidig zu fliegen. Tja Sylt ist wie Mannheim etwas "Dörflich". Ich war vielleicht froh zu sein endlich mal wieder ein Video über RNA zu sehen. Sehr schön!
Please try and do an inter-island routing in Hawai’i on Southwest and Hawaiian. Also try and get on a Breeze A220 when they start flying. Maybe do an Aleutian islands trip in Alaska from Anchorage on Ravn Alaska airlines and Alaska Airlines.
Great flight on unexpected airlines and unexpected route. And before I watched this, I didn't know Germany have island on northwest, which are close to Denmark. As far as I know, they have island at northeast.
Beautiful trip report, thanks for checking out this very small airline! Could you please fly them one more time in Summer? They are also flying from Kassel to Usedom this year, would be surely worth a video :)
One of our former airlines of the Philippines named SEAIR has operated these aircrafts before and at one point operated really fast flights to Boracay on this aircraft, and this flight report reminds me of good ol' SEAIR! Man, the memories just come back every now and then!
Thank you for a great review of this most interesting flight. The equivalent train journey is extremely lengthy, and whilst D.B provide a good service, this flight by the Dornier leased by Rhein-Neckar Air is superb ! Many thanks.
I never expected them to change their standard of service. I had free choice of drinks and a really good sandwich. Okey the time was 2016… still surprised!
Vielen Dank,habe gerade gelesen das Rhein Neckar Air jetzt auch nach Italien fliegt,muss also gut besucht sein die airline das sie ihr Angebot erweitern.
I dont agree with your opinion on the legroom. It felt quite spacious and I'm 190cm. It offers a lot of legroom compared to the aircraft size. I was expecting less. It's better than LCCs.
No, it isn't. Almost everyone speaks English in Germany (at least the younger generations in their 30s mostly do). It's probably because only Germans use this airline, but on Lufthansa, Eurowings, ..., you can expect both languages.
TO THIS "S A" FLIGHT BLOGGER, WHAT "A SOUTHERN FLIGHT WITH RHEIN NECKAR DO 328 ['SYLT TO MANNHEIM W/ ON-BOARD, FLEXIBLE SNACKS']," AND Y'ALL, "LATEST FOREIGNER THRU ENGLISH TRANSLATOR, 'WELCOME' TO THIS BALTIC REGION!!" 🥃🥪🍫

I love these random airlines / planes you guys fly on. Keep up the good work!
Up until June 2021 I lived in Mannheim and these planes were passing right above my building :D what a blast from the past
Wow! Please keep doing these unique airlines and routes! It sets you apart from the crowd in a huge way!
Agreed!
My introvert self did a leap for joy seeing the single seat next to a window. That is a dream set-up to me.

@@TheEpicAppleEater01 Mannheim - DHBW ;) didn't know how to translate "Hochschule" properly sry
love it! hopefully they restart their routes to Hamburg and Berlin.
Really cool report, fantastic to fly on the Dornier!

@@rais1953 ouch! TMI!!!
@@domhussainhuntman Yes they didn't really need to hear that until after the flight.

Will fly on Hawaiian in April! :)
OMG! I Live in Mannheim and tommorow i'm on a Airline called TAROM with the Airbus A318 from Frankfurt to Bucharest!

On which other aviation channel you get such interesting reports? Thanks also for your recent review on Lübeck Air!
SPICEJET DELHI TO HYDRABAD

I love videos about random airlines.
It is very exciting.
Hey Felix! Great tripreport. I love when you do random airlines. I've learned a lot about different airlines from you and David.
Amazing trip report Felix!
I like the 328, beautiful machines both the prop and the jet

Really enjoyed the video. It was nice to see Mannheim again, my adopted German city.
You can see how fast planes are

I want to fly on a Dornier for some time!! There is still hope within europe!
I actually never heard of this airlines
Same
Lovely! Would be interested to see one of the E190 flights of Lübeck Air this summer if you got the chance :)
It reminds me of Beldringe HCA.
But one day they have to replace the 328 with the atr 42.
Waow
Mannheim 😍😍 Tolles Video👍🏻
Nice looking aircraft.
20 second take--off roll 😎
Yes!!!!
👍
Are they doing english announcements on board as well, even though it's a national flight?
Please add try trip report Citilink A330neo and Garuda Indonesia A330neo🙏
I've never been on international flights like these before perhaps I should try them out someday
It’s a regional flight, not international
@@GeorgiaOverdrive I did not realize that
Grüße aus Mannheim :-)

Wow David Keep it Up Very Cool!
Emm it is actually fearless Felix on board this beautiful aircraft.
Great trip report
Very good
Thank you
Love this!
Keep doing like that to grow the chanel
Any way you could do anadolu jet?
This CZcamsr have had a bottle of water and a mini chocolate bar for snack
Why do they clap?
When are you flying to Wangerooge?
Cool ✈️
No English announcements? Is this commonplace on flights within Germany?
No, it isn't. Almost everyone speaks English in Germany (at least the younger generations in their 30s mostly do). It's probably because only Germans use this airline, but on Lufthansa, Eurowings, ..., you can expect both languages.
Go with Lübeck Air plzzzzzzzzzzzz
Next do a flight in an boeing 747
Welches Datum bist du geflogen? Glaube ich habe dich gespottet :)
Nice video
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪

come to thailand please
Dornier 328 is like ATR 72/42 600/500
Donier is like an atr plane
Hey Simply Aviation, for TripReports, please may we have voice if that’s possible? If not then that’s ok, I just prefer brutally honest with voice
Can you make a flight form San Diego
Why did the passengers clap after the landing ?
Because the crew deserves it. More than any comedian.
@@UlliStein Maybe they should have had a comedian on board, to ease the anxiety of the passengers
What is the luggage allowance on this airline?
Very easy… their slogan is „flying like on a private jet“ so one drop Off bag each but the weight Policy isn‘t strikt.
