First B757 of Air Berlin

Never knew that 😮 So really, Air Berlin are soon to become pretty much Air Germany!

When did Air Berlin order the A330? And what routes are they putting it on?

They also took over LTU and got the A330s from there. They got ‘200 and ‘300 series.

While we are at it, they took over Germania (not to be mistaken with Germanwings!) a while ago. Therefor Air Berlin also has F100s in their fleet. Also, FlyNiki and FlyDBA (former Deuysche BA) are now also part of the Air Berlin empire. To finish it all of, Air Berlin wants to take over Condor as well. This won’t happen till 2009 at the earliest though and is subject to approval from anti-trust autorities and Lufthansa as LH has a large share.

Air Berlin took over Belair last March. With the take-over they also got two 752s and one 763.

So their fleet is now B737, B757, B767, A319, A320, A330. Quite a list for a low cost operator.

I am sure they will be watching costs very closely with such a wide fleet. Im surprised the B757s were painted as surely it would make more sense to go with Airbus A321s for similar capacity? Given they are painted it is unlikely they are going to be leaving the fleet any time in the foreseeable future?

Yeah i noticed it on airliner’s net it was #3 of the last 24/48 hours.

May i ask though why have AB got a 757-200. I mean yeah i dont mind AB but i think if you ask me there fleet is to Diverse with Nearlly all NG737 A330 320 Famliy now the 75/6 famliy
