  • Seat selection policy — some airlines assign seats randomly for free, others charge
  • Check-in deadlines — most airlines close online check-in 1–2 hours before departure

Air Berlin is no longer operating

Air Berlin ceased operations in 2017. You cannot book flights with this airline. If you are researching a route it used to fly, search the route directly and you will see the carriers serving it now.

Its network, for reference

The figures below describe the route network Air Berlin operated while it was flying. They are kept for reference only.

Air Berlin’s route network

Counted from published nonstop services rather than live schedules, so this describes the shape and reach of Air Berlin’s network - its bases, how far it ranges and how much it leans on partners - rather than today’s timetable.

On codeshares: about 16% of these routes are marketed by Air Berlin but flown by a partner. It matters at the airport: baggage rules, seat selection and lounge access usually follow the operating carrier, not the one on your booking reference.

Aircraft types on Air Berlin’s network

Recorded against Air Berlin’s published routes, most-frequent first. This comes from a scheduled-service dataset that is refreshed periodically rather than live, so it reflects the shape of the fleet — narrow-body versus wide-body, regional jets versus mainline — more reliably than it reflects any individual variant flying today.
