Paninternational was a West German leisure airline headquartered in Munich with bases at Munich-Riem Airport and Düsseldorf Airport.

History

A Paninternational BAC One-Eleven parked at Stockholm Arlanda Airport in 1971

The airline was founded by Munich-based tour operator Paneuropa in 1968 as Panair and started operations on January 1, 1970. After commencing leisure operations within Europe using their new BAC 1-11-515FBs, Paninternational rapidly acquired two Boeing 707-120B pre-owned by American Airlines to expand into long-haul flights.

It ceased operations already on October 6, 1971 in the aftermath of the accident of Flight 112, which gained large media attention and negative publicity.
