airberlin is now operating up to three flights a day from Berlin to Warsaw. This morning Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO airberlin, Hartmut Mehdorn, Chief Executive of Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Dr. Jerzy Józef Margański, Poland’s Ambassador to Germany, inaugurated the new connection between the German and Polish capitals at Berlin-Tegel Airport.
“We look forward to welcoming the flight guests who will be travelling from Berlin to Warsaw with airberlin as of today. This service up to three times daily makes us the airline offering the largest number of flights between Berlin and Warsaw. The flights are optimally integrated into our route network, giving passengers access to numerous connections on our European and worldwide route networks. The addition of nonstop flights to Warsaw is in line with the improvements we are making to the efficiency of our route network, which we strategically revise in 2013. Poland is a key market in this respect,” said Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO airberlin.

Hartmut Mehdorn, Chief Executive Officer of Berlin Brandenburg Airport: “The launch
of the route to Warsaw further strengthens the airberlin hub at Tegel Airport. I am particularly pleased that our capital city is now even better connected with the capital city of our neighbour Poland thanks to this new service. Additionally, it creates more transfer options for Polish passengers in Berlin, especially for long-haul destinations. The Polish market offers great development potential for our company, and accordingly we provide our Polish-speaking passengers with information in their native language on our website and in flyers.”

“Berlin and Warsaw, Poland and Germany: They are getting closer and closer! I am very pleased about the new connection between Berlin and Warsaw. For me, it means that another airline has recognised Poland’s potential. I am convinced that this service will benefit Warsaw as much as Berlin, and contribute to the growing German-Polish partnership. It will enable those who are visiting for short periods of time for personal, political or commercial purposes to take care of their affairs with more flexibility. At the same time, this new connection is another addition to the assortment of destinations available from the Warsaw and Berlin airports. The new connection is also an important step towards creating a more complete network between Poland and Germany. It also offers a good opportunity for German and Polish guests alike to be personally won
over by the commercial potential and tourist attractions offered in both countries”, said Dr. Jerzy Józef Margański, Poland’s Ambassador to Germany.
