Air Uniqon will launch a new direct route between Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) and Sylt from 2 July 2026, restoring nonstop air links between the German capital region and the popular North Sea island.
The flights will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays, until 5 October 2026 as part of a triangular routing linking Friedrichshafen, Berlin, and Sylt. The new service reduces travel time between Berlin and Sylt to around 60 minutes, compared with six to seven hours by rail via Hamburg.
Flights will be operated using Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft operated by Avanti Air, configured with 78 seats.
Flight schedule
Mondays
- BER ? Sylt: 09:45–10:45
- Sylt ? BER: 11:15–12:15
Thursdays

The schedule is designed particularly for long-weekend leisure trips from Berlin to the island.
Expanding niche domestic network
The launch also increases frequencies on Air Uniqon’s existing Friedrichshafen–Berlin route, which will now operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Founded in 2025, Air Uniqon operates as a virtual airline without its own air operator certificate, focusing on underserved domestic German point-to-point routes from regional airports. Flight operations began in January 2026.
