Statement regarding the court decision on the codeshare flights with Etihad Airways
“We regret the decision of the Braunschweig Administrative Court. Our customers will not be affected. All previously booked Etihad Airways/airberlin codeshare flights will operate as planned.
Our prospective joint flight schedule remains unchanged and bookable. In addition, all flights via Abu Dhabi and connecting to the worldwide Etihad Airways network will continue to be marketed jointly. We continue to stand for competition in Germany and a better product offering for our customers.

Our partner Etihad Airways continues to stand behind airberlin, and we will support Etihad Airways in all measures.
