Reports: Airberlin subsidiary Belair to close in March
Switzerland-based Airberlin subsidiary Belair could be closed down by the end of March, the company has informed employees according to several media reports in Switzerland. Belair has around 280 staff and operates 6 Airbus A320 family aircraft on behalf of Airberlin as well as conducting leisure flights for third parties. “We will outline details about the restructuring of Airberlin, which we implemented last September, when the measures have been decided. We will inform employees and our passengers directly,” an Airberlin spokesperson said. A Belair board meeting is planned for Jan 17. “Belair’s cost-structure became too expensive. Its costs are higher than Airberlin mainline. And Belair stands in the way of the merger between FlyNiki and TUIfly,” a former FlyNiki manager said. <br/>
