- "Treffpunkt Flughafen" (literally "meeting point airport") was a TV series produced in the GDR in 1985/86 as a single season with 8 episodes. The show depicts the life and adventures of a flight crew aboard a IL-62 of the East-German airline INTERFLUG.

The actors were good and professional. btw I too flew with Interflug, in 1984, everything went fine.
You’re lucky. I would have loved to have flown that plane.
@@davidclaro152 Eastern Bloc airlines were not fancy, and boring, and boring food, but they carried me safely so in the end it's all that matters 😀
Hopefully somebody will create subtitles for all of Treffpunkt's episodes
I remeber it on tv as a child, and desperetly try to find it in subtiles.
I used to fly on Interflug, always enjoyed it. They wouldn't fly over West Germany so their flights to Amsterdam and Brussels would make a loop over Denmark, flights to Italy would go over Czechoslovakia and Austria.
It's poignant to see film from a world that no longer exists.

Advantages:-
Clean Streets
Nice people
No Graffiti
Cost of living cheap
Nice airline interflug
Above all Safety (no Crime). You could leave your door open and your belonging would still be there. Hence a strong law.
Disadvantage:-
Supermarket always empty - and that's the price of Communism, but, you lived with it.
Rubbish cars
They bought some Airbus planes just before the Wall came down. The plan was to use them to fly Western tourists to Berlin, complete with shuttle service between West Berlin and Schonefeld airport, to earn hard currency. But then everything changed.
Planes from Interflug, Aeroflot and Cubana were a pretty common sight in Newfoundland. They stopped to refuel in Gander. Many passengers used the opportunity to defect to Canada.

That’s really interesting to know.
Back in 1987 I flew from Gatwick to Tirana via Schonefeld on an Il18. The return flight was on a Tu134A. I have many Interflug models as well as postcards, posters, flags, badges and stickers. All from a bygone era.
I knew most albanians weren't allowed to leave the country at those times.
Did Interflug fly to Communist Albania? They were isolated from the Warsaw Pact countries as much as the West. I know Swissair had flights to Tirana, but I'm not sure who else.
Interflug commenced weekly flights between Schönefeld and Tirana in 1963. The only direct flights between the U.K. and DDR operated by Interflug, were infrequent charters.
Never had the chance to fly Interflug but I did pop in their office in Belgrade to get a timetable back in 1983 and 1985. I saw their TU-134 depart BEG in July '83 while waiting with my father for our flight to Vienna.
I really liked the opening of this program. Really BOSS, even though I don’t understand much German. It would get me to study German more. If I were watching this back then, I would look forward to this show. Too bad this only went for one season.
Fairly attractive flight attendants too. Great to see those old soviet.Ilyushins in their prime.
6:30 Now that was the REAL benefit of being a flyer or sailor behind the Iron Curtain!
Great video for learning German. Cool looking TV series, too.
Good then tak, nhìn quen quá, tôi đã từng phục vụ IL18 and IL62 M of Interflug DDR Tại Ha noi, noi bai airport.❤
спасибо друг, давно хотел этот сериал посмотреть
Proszę bardzo. You're welcome.
Very interesting video, a somewhat different vision of a country in the socialist orbit in the seventies and eighties .
Interflug had a weekly service between Germany and Mexico. Wednesdays were a very special day at the Mexico City International Airport, that day you could observe the operation of the IL-62 of Cubana, Aeroflot, Checzlovak and Interflug.
After just over a year of flying to Mexico City with the Il-62, Interflug operated the Airbus A310-300, curious to see a Western aircraft operated by a socialist country.
Another curious case is that the Interflug crew spent the night in Havana, the route was Berlin-Shannon-Havana-Mexico City, and the crews only flew Havana-Mexico City, but the plane stayed almost 3 hours in Mexico and if you saw the crew walking and buying various things at the airport.
Even in front of the terminal, there was a supermarket owned by the Mexican pilots' union, where they sold everything very cheap, and the crews from various countries such as Cubana, Interflug, Nicaragua, etc. They bought basic necessities.
Really? Was that true? I’m not saying you’re lying or anything like that. Just that, wow, I didn’t even know that. Very interesting to know. Did they fly straight from Shonefeld to Mexico City, or did they stop in Havana to refuel?
Oh my, how those two female air attendants were pretty!!😍
Matko świeta, pamiętam ten serial z dzieciństwa…
Had the chance to fly MEX-HAV-SXF on the few times left for Interflug before ti's demise, Great aircraft!
That's interesting Ed. Tell me what you enjoyed about the aircraft!
Note their families were kept behind to keep them from defecting!
Have bought the complete series on DVD. Very propagandist, but quite an interesting document of how life was like in a Marxist-Leninist Social "democratic" republic (solidarity, brotherhood etc, etc). As an amateur aviation historian I find it interesting to watch the flying scenes and the airport bits (especially Berlin-Schönefeld). Also reading two books about the history about INTERFLUG and its home base Berlin-Schönefeld. As an asides: my great grand father was an art dealer in Leipzig from the 1890's-1938 (he died in 1947). Where the entrance was to his last premises in the 1950's became the main entrance to the Leipzig Stasi office.
Where is the DVD series available for sale? I'd love to buy it!
Hey that older dude was in an episode of polizeiruf 110
I am really a fan of the Co-pilot's car but i dont know what car it is?
Edit: I learned it is an Wartburg 353 Tourist
Całkiem fajnie się oglądało , coś mi się kojarzy że ten film leciał kiedyś w polskiej telewizji -głębokie lata 80-te
marek borkowski tak w 2 dekadzie lat 80 był wyświetlany w tvp sam nagrywałem na kasete magnetofonową fragmenty z dźwiękami Iłów 62.
Pamiętam. Dlatego znalazłem jego tutaj
Thank you very much! Such an interesting film! Didn't understand a word btw :)
Just like me, but I love sounds of soviet made jet engines :)
I know enough German to get the gist of it, even though I certainly don't know every word. It's easiest to understand the kids - they speak slower! Haha.
I forgotten my German. I spoke it as Kid in GDR (DDR) days. But, I kind of got the gist of the program and what it seems to be about.
I flew on the IL62 way back in early 1980s. I left Berlin before they made this program.
1:07 - That's interesting that the bags were loaded from the back of the plane near the engines.
In the rear were trunks too.
No garbage people in the DDR.
W sumie bardzo fajny pomysł na serial. Ciekawe czy dziś by chwycił? Kilka lat temu był jeden sezon serialu o załodze PAN-AM jednego z pierwszych 707. Szkoda, że nie zrobili II sezonu, bo I oglądałem z wielką chęcią. Poza tym była w nim MARGOT ROBBIE :) także no... Ale o współczesnej załodze nowego 737MAX Lot'u bym serial oglądnął.
PS Ale, że serial z poprzedniego ustroju i to z Niemiec Wschodnich, a bez "momentów"?
Film oglądam z nostalgią mimo, zę nie znam niemieckiego, bo przypomina mi czasy gdy latałem na pokładach sowieckich maszyn typu: Tu-134A, Tu-154M, An-24W czy Ił-18 i do Berlina Schonefeld SXF. Trzeba tez wziąć poprawkę na solidna dawkę propagandy made in DDR.
Great video but i wish there was an english subtitled version somewhere, does anyone know?
I speak Polish language, I dont know, German. And Im looking for Polish subtitles.
At least all ATC communications are in English... otherwise Eastern Bloc pilots hardly speak English. Anyway thanks for upload. Add more episodes.
Wow - I flew on Interflug IL-62 (Berlin - Syria) back in the day. I miss the good old days of DDR.
Spidy Man Go to Cuba or Venezuela or North Korea, for sure you is not going to miss any more.
@@arielbenitez7505 deine Mama wird er mehr missen
@@arielbenitez7505 and what about China?
@@gobodrodiont China haven't il-62. In Belarus, north Korea, Russia are still in the use.
totalitarian GDR so GDR
What airline did the plane at 12:41 belong to?
Royal Jordanian Airlines. It was known as Alia Royal Jordanian back then in honour of Princess Alia, King Hussein's daughter.
even a stewardess is a schtasi agent )

Gdzie mozna ogladnac wszystkie 8 czesci? Wie ktos?
They sell DVDs online.
I think they did very well with... not such a brilliant aircraft...
Soviet aircraft were good for their purpose. They were built to fly in harsh conditions and land on rough and even unpaved runways. Crashes were usually the result of pilot error and poor maintenance. (I read an article by a guy who visited the USSR and noticed that the tires on his Aeroflot plane's landing gear were worn down to the steel belts.)
No translations?
Learn german .
Interesting that one of the stewardesses was Vietnamese....
The wave of migration began after 1986, when in Vietnam reforms of the "doi moi" policy (controlled democracy) enabling citizens to look for a job outside of the country were introduced. However, in the 1990s, the influx of Vietnamese to Poland was connected with the conclusion by the GDR and Vietnamese government of a readmission agreement, that is, the transfer of persons illegally staying in East Germany to the nearest border. During this period, around 30,000 Vietnamese came to Poland.
Don’t forget that Vietnam was, and still is technically a communist country...
To be exact a North Vietnamese because East Germany and North Vietnam are allies. Interflug Deutschen Demokratischen Republik might have also had North Korean flight attendants arabic speaking South Yemeni Libyan & Syrian
On the other side of the Iron Curtain if NATO countries copied this this East German TV programme the following will happen British Airways version for United Kingdom West Germany Lufthansa TWA Pan Am American Northwest Airlines united Delta Airlines US Air France France Benelux KLM & Sabena Italy Alitalia Spain Iberia Nordic countries Scandinavian Airlines Icelandair and Turkey Turkish Airlines. If one were to choose this East German carrier Interflug between United States Pan Am West Germany Deutsche Lufthansa British Airways United Kingdom which one would come on top?
I loved that socialist s...t

Things are a bit tight in the cockpit I have no idea how 4 guys can work without stepping over the other. On that deplorable landing 3 voices called for spoilers activation. Suppose that's life without computerization, captain, first officer, second officer, flight engineer all doing duties a computer should handle
It was the days before computation so you needed a 3rd person (Flight engineer)
Agreed, what the Soviet backwardness required was a second officer that no post war Allied carriers had a need for. I’m not arguing about the FE. I many cases Iron Curtain airlines had 5 FIVE in the cockpit.

Ja wohl! :)
Good grief, I have never seen a cabin crew all having huge bags. With a wife and daughter flying they take a bag that would fit under a set as well as a matching shoulder bag for a 3 day turn. He women in the video must be carrying their rock collections
Space for picking up goods available elsewhere?
GDR pilots - the best civilian pilots in the world
East Germany was the European equivalent to North Korea in the 80s
How do you know, have you been there? ;-)
That would have been Albania
Ulf Hesse No but I’ve seen the footage
I lived there and I can tell you it is nonsense
Your incorrect, that would have been Romania under the Ceausecus.
Not the best of landings ;-)
