This seems to be yet another German low cost carrier emerging out of a country,which a couple of years ago,had very little low cost activity,now they Ryanair at Hahn,DBA,Virgin Express at Cologne/Bonn, Germania and GermanWings.

RE: Hapag Lloyd Express
Here is some more information on the airline:
TUI Ltd., Europe’s leading Tour Operator, and Germania, a German charter operator, create the new low-cost airline “Hapag-Lloyd Express” a 100% subsidiary of TUI Ltd.
They will start this in December with an operation based in Cologne to different European cities like Barcelona, Milan, Paris or Rome. In Germany it will be Berlin, Dresden and Munich.
The fares will start at 10 Euros for a inner-german flight and 25 Euros for a pan-european flight. The already started LoCo-operations of Germania will be part of Hapag-Lloyd Express. They plan a volume of 1.3 million passengers in the first year.
The eight Beoing 737-700 of Germania will be chartered by TUI and operated with Hapag-Lloyd-Express colours. The average age is 4 years and the seatmap will show 148 seats.
But something will be different from other LoCo’s: Hapag-Lloyd Express will also be bookable in travel agencies.
