Airberlin operates final flight, ceases operations
Bankrupt Airberlin operated its last flight Oct 27 from Munich to Berlin Tegel. The final Airbus A320 flight carried 178 passengers. The airline ceases operations officially Oct 28, ending nearly 39 years of service. Last-minute negotiations with both Condor and EasyJet on the transfer of assets continue, but many Airberlin aircraft are expected to be grounded at least temporarily. With the grounding, the German aviation system will lose 60,000 passengers seats and 250 flights every day. As Airberlin ceases operations, both Berlin airports—Tegel and Schoenefeld—are temporarily expecting fewer passengers, but “In a few weeks, all the [former Airberlin] slots will be allocated and the Berlin airports will have no growth-reduction in the long run,” said Brandenburg Airport MD Engelbert Lütke Daldrup. <br/>
