Oneworld: Airberlin will leave alliance Oct. 28

Oneworld has confirmed that airberlin will no longer be part of the alliance from Oct. 28, when the bankrupt German carrier ceases operations. According to oneworld, airberlin affiliate NIKI—which joined oneworld alongside airberlin in March 2012—will no longer fly as part of oneworld at the same time. “Oneworld will continue to serve more than 1,000 airports in almost 160 countries worldwide,” the alliance said. “The withdrawal of airberlin and NIKI from the alliance will mean a dozen destinations—half of them regional cities in Austria and Germany and the rest southern European holiday spots—are leaving the alliance’s global network.”<br/>
