About 1,400 Air Berlin staff threatened with dismissal: Unions
About 1,400 employees at Air Berlin are threatened by dismissal, union documents showed Friday, with the insolvent carrier's entire ground staff due to get their notices of termination by the end of October. Employees needed to maintain flight operations would be given notice by the end of Feb 2018, according to staff information. Other employees will probably be released from their duties, the information showed, without giving specific details. The dismissals also affect administrative staff. Air Berlin declined to comment. The carrier is in talks with Lufthansa and EasyJet on a carve-up of its assets such as aircraft, take-off and landing slots and crew. Air Berlin, which has around 8,000 employees, filed for insolvency in August after major shareholder Etihad said it would stop providing funding. <br/>
