Ricardo Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 http://www.bbc.com/news/business-40935559 "Air Berlin, Germany's second-largest carrier, has filed for insolvency, after its main shareholder Etihad declared it would not be providing further financial support. The airline, which has accumulated debt for almost a decade, reported a record loss of 782m euros (£713m) in 2016. Flights will continue to operate thanks to a transitional loan of 150m euros from the German government." and " At a news conference, Germany's Economy Minister, Brigitte Zypries, said the government's emergency loan should allow flights at the airline to continue for three months." Air Berlin does fly to Thailand, so possibly some people here have tickets with them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure there is a couple connecting to Etihad at Abu Dhabi. Maybe not many in Thaivisa forum. My last flight with them was March 12, 2011 oneway to Bangkok At that time the attraction was the non-stop from Berlin to Bangkok. Overall quality has degraded steadily. Not that big surprise. One day Etihad had to stop this money drain. A failed attempt to get a foot into Germany where LH is strong in keeping competition out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
