Air Berlin

Air Berlin ceased operations in October 2017 and no longer flies; it is not a bookable carrier. Prior to its collapse it was a German carrier that operated a hybrid model between low‑cost and legacy full‑service offerings, serving domestic Germany, regional European routes and some leisure long‑haul destinations.

While active it participated in alliance and partner arrangements to extend its network, but those partnerships and any ongoing services ceased with the airline’s insolvency; travelers should not expect any current service or support from Air Berlin.

Topbonus - Air Berlin's Frequent Flyer Program (no longer active)

Air Berlin no longer operates; its former frequent‑flyer program was Topbonus and was tied to the carrier’s operations. If you have points, status or partner credits that reference Air Berlin or Topbonus, contact the program administrator, any partner programs involved, or your card issuer and the insolvency receiver to learn whether your balances were transferred, reimbursed, or otherwise affected.

Where Air Berlin Flew

Air Berlin does not operate any routes today - the carrier ceased flying in October 2017. When it was in service it operated out of several German airports (notably Berlin and Düsseldorf) and ran a mix of domestic, European regional and leisure long‑haul services; its network reach at the time was extended through codeshares and alliance/partner relationships.

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Air Berlin no longer has an active fleet because the airline ceased operations in 2017. While it was operating, it used a mix of narrowbody aircraft for short‑ and medium‑haul routes and larger widebodies on long‑haul services; cabin offerings varied by route and fare with economy on most short sectors and a higher‑tier/premium cabin available on long‑haul flights.

Tips for Flying Air Berlin

• Do not book flights marketed as Air Berlin - the airline ceased operations in October 2017 and no longer provides scheduled service.
• If you hold an old Air Berlin ticket, contact your travel agent, airline insolvency administrator, or credit‑card company promptly to determine refund, rebooking or chargeback options.
• Check any frequent‑flyer balances, voucher codes, or credit‑card rewards tied to Air Berlin or its former loyalty program with the program administrator or card issuer before assuming they are usable.
• Be wary of third‑party sellers offering Air Berlin credits or tickets; verify legitimacy and redemption rules with the insolvency administrator or issuing bank before paying.
