Created in 1992, dba, was Germany's 2nd largest scheduled airline, operating a fleet of Boeing 737s. The airline offered a very extensive domestic German network with frequent flights between the cities of Berlin, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hanburgm Munich and Stuttgart. International service is operated to Malaga, Nice and Venice in addition to extensive charter services to many resort destinations mostly around the Mediteranian area.

It was acquired by Air Berlin in August 2006, but continued to operate independently, marketed as Air Berlin (powered by dba) until being dissolved by Air Berlin on Nov 30, 2008.
On this program we join 11 flights in the cockpit of the 737 on flights to all of the airline's scheduled domestic destinations in addition to Nice. We learn about the operation of the aircraft as we witness the crews at work before, during and after the various flights.
