  Hapag Lloyd
Hapag Lloyd Airlines is a charter airline based in Germany.
Hapag Lloyd Airlines actually finally came into the consortium's picture in 1972, when the conglomerate bought a few Boeing 727's to start a charter airline so that they could also fly their cruise passengers from Germany to the cruises' port of calls.
Through the years, Hapag Lloyd Airlines has been able to add some regular passenger flights to their schedule, as well as new airplanes, such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus aircraft equipment.

 EU: Airlines must compensate passengers - Boston.com
European airlines lost a legal bid Tuesday that aimed to strike down new EU rules guaranteeing passengers compensation for flight delays or cancellations.
It rejected a complaint by the European Low Fares Airline Association that the rules were unfair to budget carriers because compensation levels were often much higher than the cost of their tickets.
Airlines cannot be held responsible if delays or cancellations are caused by "extraordinary circumstances" beyond their control -- such as strikes or security threats.

Eventually, the three airlines agreed on a trijet, and thus the 727 was born.
Many of the airlines were from medium to large sized countries and needed to transport their passengers to the larger communities where they would catch the bigger airliners for their international flights.
However, the 727 is still flying for smaller start-up airlines, cargo airlines, and charter airlines, and it is also becoming increasingly popular as a private means of transportation.

 Boeing 727 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the 727 proved to be a reliable and versatile plane that came to form the core of many start-up airlines' fleets, it is sometimes described as the "DC-3 of the Jet Age." Even as the larger 747s came about in 1970, international airlines still needed the 727.
At the turn of the 21st century, the 727 was still a vital part of some major American airline fleets.
But the 727 had a reputation for high noise and most airlines were already switching to twinjets, airplanes with only two engines.

Although charter airlines typically carry passengers who have booked individually or as small groups to beach resorts, historic towns, or cities where a cruise ship is awaiting them, sometimes an aircraft will be chartered by a single group such as members of a company, a sports teams, or the military.
At one time this was a legal requirement (or one enforced by the airlines' cartel), but this is no longer the case, and so-called "flight-only packages" can be bought by those who merely want to travel to the destination.
The airlines operating charter flights, and the holiday companies who are the initial purchasers of seats on them, have acquired an unhealthy reputation for financial instability.
