Airberlin flies to 163 destinations in 39 countries. New markets have been developed and expanded further via the fast-growing hubs in Berlin, Dusseldorf and Palma de Majorca over the past few years. The fleets comprises 169 planes with an average age of five years, making airberlin one of the newest fleets in Europe.  >>>

Today the airline operates a fleet of 24 western aircraft with an average age of 10 years for its jet aircraft, close to 50 domestic and international routes. Its passengers are served by 3,000 highly-qualified staff, the majority of whom are from Kazakhstan, supplemented by experienced foreign personnel.  >>>

Air Berlin, the second largest German airline, will be using a new software system to optimise approach and landing phases, thereby saving fuel as well as reducing emissions and noise. The new SafeRoute? system is based on ADS-B technology (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) and helps to adjust the speed of incoming aircraft during their approach phase to maintain the optimum distance between aircraft even at high density airports. Where pilots used to be instructed to enter a holding pattern as a way of queuing up for landing, SafeRoute? can now be used to avoid such congestion. This means not only that passengers will save valuable time, but also that noise pollution affecting local residents living near flight paths can be reduced. Last but not least, the saving in fuel also reduces emissions. Air Berlin is the first airline in Europe to use SafeRoute?. Initially the Boeing fleet will be equipped with this software, and this will later be extended to the Airbus fleet as well.   >>>
