Air Berlin expands

AIR BERLIN is in an expansion mood having taken over the TUIfly's city routes and with it 15 aircraft.  The airline is currently recruiting 700 flight attendants and 120 co-pilots.  Last week it published its third quarter earnings which more than doubled to €95.2m beating analysts forecasts and triggering a jump of more than 8% in its shares.  Whilst best known for its European regional routes the airline has a fleet of 13 Airbus A330s which operate as far east as Bangkok and as far west as Vancouver.  From the UK the airline flies four times daily from Stansted to its main hub at Dusseldorf, and twice daily to Hanover, Munster, and Nuremburg.  Paderborn is three times daily from Manchester and daily from Stansted. www.airberlin.com
