Germany: Berlin Tegel reports 12% passenger drop after airberlin insolvency
Berlin Tegel Airport has reported a 12% year-over-year drop in passenger throughput for October following airberlin’s insolvency. Tegel was the home base of the bankrupt German carrier, which filed for bankruptcy Aug. 15 after 29.2% shareholder Etihad Airways withdrew financial support. Airberlin operated its last flight Oct. 27 from Munich to Berlin Tegel. Tegel operator Berlin Brandenburg International Airport said the impact of the airberlin crisis is now visible, affecting both German airports (including Schoenefeld). The two airports reported a total of 28.9m passengers the first 10 months of 2017, up 4.4% YOY. Without airberlin, the German aviation system is losing 60,000 passengers seats and 250 flights every day. <br/>
