On Wednesday evening Joachim Hunold, CEO airberlin, together with Prof. Dr. Rainer Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer of Berlin Airports, and Mohammed Ahmed Al Mahmood, United Arab Emirates Ambassador in Berlin, inaugurated the new service between the German capital and the Emirate of Dubai. For the 298 passengers on board flight AB7318 and more than 100 invited guests the airport’s C2 terminal was transformed into a desert landscape with a Mocha ceremony, live Middle Eastern music and belly-dancing.
“This is the first time that airberlin is operating a year-round, regular non-stop service to the Middle East and it is the only airline to link Berlin and Dubai. We have integrated the service to Dubai in our hub structure in Berlin and are consequently able to offer connections to other cities in Germany, Scandinavia, Austria and Switzerland. airberlin is thereby offering an attractive product to business travellers as well as to holidaymakers. At the same time we are strengthening our position in Berlin in the long term,” commented Joachim Hunold, CEO airberlin.
