Ostfriesische Lufttransport

Ostfriesische Lufttransport is a small German regional passenger airline that operates short‑haul and charter services from its base at Bremen (BRE). The airline’s operations are tailored to very short routes and island or regional connections, using light piston and turboprop aircraft alongside at least one regional jet; it is positioned as a practical local/regional operator rather than a long‑haul or network carrier.

Frequent Flyer Program

The airline does not operate a widely recognized proprietary frequent‑flyer program commonly found with major carriers; frequent‑flyer benefits should not be assumed. If you need to earn status or miles, check whether a codeshare or ticketing partner permits accrual to a larger carrier’s program on your booking.

Where It Flies

From its base at Bremen (BRE) the airline focuses on short regional passenger services and charter/air‑taxi operations within northern Germany and nearby short‑haul destinations. Its route profile is oriented toward very short flights that suit light piston and turboprop aircraft, with occasional higher‑capacity regional jet operations on busier links. The carrier is not a member of a major global airline alliance.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

OLT operates a mix of small piston and turboprop aircraft well suited to short hops and island services, and at times uses a regional jet for higher-capacity routes. Types reported in the fleet include single‑engine and light twin Cessna models, the Britten‑Norman BN‑2 Islander, Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner and a regional jet such as the Fokker 100. Cabins on the smaller aircraft are single‑class, with simple seating and no premium cabins; the regional jet provides a standard short‑haul layout rather than long‑haul amenities.

Tips for Flying Ostfriesische Lufttransport

• Confirm baggage allowances and any per-piece weight limits before booking, because small piston and island aircraft commonly enforce strict size and weight rules.
• Allow extra time at regional airfields for check-in and boarding since operations can be manual and procedures differ from large airports.
• Expect minimal onboard services on short flights-there is typically no full meal service and limited or no inflight entertainment.
• If you have a tight connection to a larger carrier, build in extra transfer time because interline handling and through-checking of bags may be limited.
