Airberlin massively expands its long-haul service

BERLIN, Germany - Airberlin will dramatically expand its range of long-haul flights this coming winter (2016/17). Germany's second-largest airline will base an additional type A330-200 aircraft at Berlin Tegel, with 19 seats in the exclusive FullFlat Business Class section and 271 Economy Class seats, including 48 XL seats, which offer around 20 percent more legroom.

The additional Airbus means the premium airline's new schedule will include more flights from Berlin to the Dominican Republic and the USA.

Additional flights to the USA

The frequency of flights from Berlin to Miami will double to four times a week, compared with twice a week in the winter of 2015/16. With the addition of a connection on Tuesdays, there will be daily flights to New York this coming winter. airberlin will also be adding a Thursday flight to Chicago in the winter to bring the weekly total to five. During the winter, airberlin flies 16 times a week via Berlin to three destinations in the USA: Chicago, New York and Miami.This winter, airberlin will resume year-round flights to Los Angeles from Dusseldorf. Flight AB7430 will depart Dusseldorf for Los Angeles five times a week at 9.45 am. airberlin will thus fly 22 times a week from Dusseldorf to four destinations in the USA: Fort Myers, Miami, New York and Los Angeles. The airberlin hubs in Berlin and Dusseldorf are easily reached from many airports in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with short transfer times. In the USA, partner airline American Airlines offers countless ongoing connections to destinations in the USA and Canada.

More Caribbean

From 2 November 2016, airberlin will fly from Dusseldorf to Cancun three times a week - once more than last year. From Berlin, the airline will resume its Punta Cana service. The red and white aircraft will depart for the Dominican Republic on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. airberlin also flies four times a week to Punta Cana from Dusseldorf, so passengers effectively have a daily service via Berlin and Dusseldorf. With the flights to Puerto Plata, airberlin offers a total of nine flights per week to the Dominican Republic in winter. airberlin will also serve trend-destinations Havana and Varadero in Cuba this coming winter: airberlin flies from Dusseldorf to Varadero three times a week and twice a week to Havana. This winter, airberlin will operate an additional weekly flight to Cuba. The island of Curacao is also on the flight plan, once a week until November, and then twice a week from November.

"We are a quality airline and a smart alternative to the competition for holidaymakers and business travellers alike. Our extensive flight schedule and the new connections to North America and the Caribbean enable us to strengthen our position as market leaders in Dusseldorf. Frequent flyers can use their topbonus miles for upgrades to Business Class or an XL seat and enjoy our onboard comfort to the fullest," said airberlin Chief Executive Officer Stefan Pichler.

airberlin's financial results 2015

• Significant improvement of 3.7 per cent in revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK)
• Yield increased significantly by 2.0 per cent
• Load factor increased by 0.7 percentage points
• Extraordinary payments, codeshare dispute and dip in tourism traffic due to geopolitical events had negative impact
• Benefits from low fuel cost not yet realised

airberlin made good progress in its operational and commercial performance in 2015 with revenue per available seat kilometre, yield, load factor, operating seat cost and ancillary revenues all improving.

Stefan Pichler, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Although we reported a significant net loss of -446.6 million euros in 2015, the underlying fundamentals of our business are now trending in the right direction, and we can look forward to further improvements in our trading performance, especially in the second half of this year.”

Several factors negatively impacted airberlin’s financial performance in 2015 including a protracted and damaging dispute over codeshare flights in the final quarter of 2015 and the beginning of 2016.

He said: “Even if the decision by the Lüneburg Higher Regional Court ultimately led to a pleasing outcome for us and our partner Etihad Airways, the months spent in limbo cost us 40 million euros in lost or cancelled sales in the fourth quarter of 2015.”

A second factor impacting the financial performance was the airline’s fuel hedging programme, as airberlin benefitted only to a limited extend from the more favourable kerosene price in 2015 and its fuel hedging transactions, coupled with the sharp decline in the US dollar, meant a missed opportunity amounting to more than 200 million euros.

Mr Pichler continued: “But in 2016 we will benefit from the relatively low cost of fuel in the order of 250 million euros.

“Our result also reflects the one-off effects of restructuring and other non-recurring operating costs to the value of approximately 92 million euros.

“In addition, we saw a six per cent reduction in non-performing capacity which led to a reduction in total revenue.

“Like the other restructuring initiatives, however, this will start to show benefits in our efficiency and cost base in the second half of this year.”

The airline was also impacted by geopolitical events such as the terrorist attacks in Egypt and Paris.


“I am confident that with this sound basis, airberlin will witness an improved trading performance in 2016 thanks to the continued development of our hubs in Berlin and Dusseldorf, a deepening of the commercial relationship with Etihad Airways Partners and oneworld and by taking advantage of lower fuel prices.

“Etihad Airways is committed to airberlin and we continue to play a key role towards its success. We delivered 140 million euros last year in direct passenger revenues to our major shareholder.

“We have its support for the aggressive and radical restructuring of our business. However, there are still hard decisions to be made, which require the clear support of key internal stakeholders.”

Mr Pichler added that airberlin reorganised its commercial activities to improve revenue and it has developed a more focused corporate and network approach. In 2015, the airline achieved a 2.0 per cent increase in the revenue it received from each seat on its network.

“airberlin has made important steps in tackling its cost base, which will reap benefits in 2016 – particularly in the second half of the year – and for the first time in four years we succeeded in increasing the yield significantly.“
 
in parole semplici il solito disastro, unica compagnia aerea che riesce ancora a perdere pesantemente :cry:
l'unico supporto restano gli importanti utili che porta a etihad :up: mentre il ceo continua nella sua litania che ricorda non poco quella di norske skog
par di capire che anche il primo semestre 2016 non sarà esaltante :confused:

Air Berlin's 2015 net loss widens to 447 mln euros

Sono riusciti a partere anche nell' hedging sul costo del carburante!
Comunque a differenza delle volte precedenti non mi sembra di vedere grossi sbracamenti sul 2018.
Proverò a prenderne qualche pezzo.
Anche perchè penso che Ethiad abbia assoluta intenzione di tenerla per motivi strategici.....

Cordiali saluti
