EasyJet in talks for 25 Air Berlin jets based at Tegel Airport

EasyJet is negotiating with Air Berlin administrators for 25 of the bankrupt carrier’s remaining aircraft at Berlin’s Tegel Airport. An agreement for that many jets would make the airport EasyJet’s second-biggest base after its operations at London Gatwick. Talks for the Airbus SE A320 jets are ongoing and subject to regulatory approval, the Luton, England-based discounter said late Friday in a regulatory filing. A deal would be a key victory for EasyJet, allowing it to secure lucrative slots directly into Berlin. An update will be provided if and when appropriate, EasyJet said in the regulatory filing.<br/>
