airberlin is expanding its code-sharing activities with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, with five additional destinations in East Asia via Abu Dhabi. The Chinese cities of Chengdu, Beijing and Shanghai are being added, in addition to the Tokyo and Nagoya in Japan.

airberlin has adopted Amadeus Ancillary Services to distribute its ancillary offering to travel agencies, as well as through its website and other channels, including call centres and ticket offices. The solution now enables Amadeus travel agents in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to sell additional luggage, preferred seats and meals using Electronic Miscellaneous Document and helping them provide a more customised service to travellers.

Germany’s second largest airline, airberlin, has established a new department for environment and infrastructure. The department is responsible for bringing together the extensive range of measures implemented at airberlin which are focused on eco-efficient flying and the reduction of noise from aircraft.

In combination with an airberlin or a Finnair flight to Helsinki, from now on flight guests can book a connecting flight operated by Finnair from Helsinki to Tallinn, Turku, Tampere and Oulu with airberlin.
