airberlin introduces more flights to the USA this winter

airberlin is set to offer more intercontinental flights during the upcoming winter season. “We are continuing to expand our Dusseldorf services and plan to station twelve rather than eleven long-haul aircraft at this airport from the start of the winter schedule. These will be used to provide additional flights to the USA. At Berlin-Tegel we are adapting our capacities in line with the fragile infrastructure there and are reducing our long-haul fleet on site by one aircraft to five,” says airberlin CEO Thomas Winkelmann. San Francisco is being included in airberlin’s winter schedule this year for the first time. The service from Dusseldorf to Orlando that commenced in May will now be offered year round, making it an integral part of airberlin’s winter schedule for the first time. This coming winter, airberlin will operate a total of 39 flights from Dusseldorf to North America. Other US destinations served from Dusseldorf are Boston, Fort Myers, Los Angeles, Miami and New York (JFK).
airberlin will also provide additional flight frequency and fly five times a week from Berlin-Tegel to Miami. airberlin will offer six flights to Chicago each week, which is one more than last winter. airberlin will therefore be offering 18 flights to the USA from Tegel in the coming winter.
