Airberlin cancels operations to, from Abu Dhabi
Airberlin will cancel its operations between Berlin and Abu Dhabi starting Sept 15 just weeks after the airline filed for insolvency. Etihad Airways, which owns nearly 30% of Airberlin, said that it is rebooking its customers onto alternative Etihad flights. The cancellation of flights to Abu Dhabi comes as Airberlin grapples with uncertainty over its future after Etihad Airways said it is withdrawing financial support for the German carrier. Media reports suggest Airberlin will also be cancelling other long-haul flights including some routes to the US. In mid-August, Etihad said it will not offer further funding to the struggling carrier, and described Airberlin’s move to file for administration as “extremely disappointing for all parties.” <br/>
