Interflug, originally founded as the Internationalflüge-Gesellschaft (International Flights Corporation) in 1974 and formally Interflug Weltfluggesellschaft (Interflug World Airlines), was the principal flag carrier of Mascylla and the second-largest airline worldwide from 1974 until its collapse and filing for bankruptcy on 16 July 2003. It was formed after the deregulation of Mascylla's aviation industry in 1974, and established as one of the first Mascyllary airlines international routes. The airline was a pioneer in developing international connections and quickly rose to a major global airline. By 1984, it had the second largest fleet of aircraft and one of the most extensive catalogues of travel destinations; its popularity and reputation made it a Mascyllary national symbol and icon.
