Air Berlin's fleet
Air Berlin’s top 10 one-way city pairs by weekly seats from Berlin
Air Berlin is Germany's second-largest airline, with bases at Berlin-Tegel, Düsseldorf, Munich, Nuremburg and Palma de Majorca. The airline is Europe's fifth largest airline, operating an extensive European network, with particular strength in Spanish, Italian and Austrian markets. A former LCC, Air Berlin today operates semi-low-cost services. The airline's network remains largely leisure-oriented, however Air Berlin operates long-haul service, it has a mixed-aircraft fleet to allow for longer-haul services and it is expected to become a member of the oneworld alliance in 2012. Air Berlin has grown both organically and through acquisitions, acquiring German holiday carrier LTU and NIKI in recent years, as well as opening up intercontinental service to destinations in Africa, Asia and North America.
