The first time after Airberlin

With the discontinuation of Airberlin's flight operations, the German aviation system is losing 250 flights and 60,000 passenger seats every day.

Lufthansa, which is taking over large parts of Airberlin, is also expecting various bottlenecks in air traffic. Although Lufthansa and some of its subsidiaries are using larger aircraft to Berlin, the demand for Lufthansa Group tickets was already enormous and will remain so.

Lufthansa plans to operate six flights from Munich to Berlin with an Airbus A340-600, one Austrian Airlines flight with a Boeing 777 from Vienna to Berlin and six Swiss flights from Zurich to Berlin with an Airbus A330-300 in the near future. In addition, a Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 Jumbo will fly sixty-three times from Frankfurt to Tegel. Even if this makes no economic sense and the large aircraft is too expensive for such short flight sectors, Lufthansa is responding to impending bottlenecks.

The Lufthansa Group also includes Eurowings, Austrian Airlines, Swiss and Brussels Airlines. In the meantime, Easyjet has also confirmed that it will take over up to 25 airberlin aircraft and 1000 employees. Airberlin has completed its last flight after 39 years and more than half a billion passengers carried. Before the airline declared bankruptcy in August, it had up to 144 aircraft in operation.

The Austrian airline Niki and the airline LGW are not affected by the insolvency. Both will be taken over by Lufthansa. If the competition authorities do not approve the takeover by Lufthansa, these two airlines will also have to file for insolvency.
