Ma siamo proprio sicuri che questo accordo vado bene bene ad AF ???? Sicuri che nn ci saranno ripercussioni ??

AirFrance ormai conta come il due di picche dall' alto del suo zero dicesi zero percento del capitale di Alitalia. E anche loro hanno accordi di cs con Airberlin sulle rotte Francia-Germania.
Caso vuole che volerò da Milano a DUS proprio nel weekend del cambio d'aeroporto.... partirò da MXP e rientrerò a LIN; inutile sottolineare l'inconveniente! Posso pretendere qualcosa? Rimborso del biglietto? Rimborso parziale a causa del disagio? Qualche precedente tra i forumisti???
Se non accetti credo ti spetti il rimborso o se la compagnia lo concede vista la particolare situazione di dover partire da un aeroporto e tornare sull' altro magari ti potrebbero concedere il cambio data.
Metto qui: terminata la riconfigurazione dei WB di Air Berlin qui potete vedere immagini e un tour virtuale della cabina:

Airberlin's new codeshare with Alitalia is no substitute for the loss of Etihad codeshare routes
The new codeshare between airberlin and Alitalia, accompanied by a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement, reveals the guiding hand of Etihad Airways. It is another example of the growing cooperation among Etihad's equity investment airlines, whether current (Alitalia) or prospective (Alitalia). This follows the launch of Etihad Airways Partners, which includes airberlin, but not yet Alitalia, although the latter it seems very likely to join after European Commission approval of Etihad's purchase of a 49% stake in it.
Both the new codeshare and Etihad Partners reflect a more liberal mood within the global alliances, allowing cooperation across alliances. Airberlin and Alitalia will remain members of oneworld and Skyteam respectively. The airberlin/Alitalia codeshare also comes just after an unexpected decision by Germany's federal aviation authority Luftfahrt Bundesamt (LBA) to reject airberlin/Etihad codeshares on 34 routes this winter. These are around half of the routes operated under airberlin's codeshare with Etihad and have received approval in the past.
The LBA appears to have reversed its decision, at least temporarily. If it stands for the longer term, the past week looks like a case of one step forward, two steps back for airberlin.
Airberlin and Alitalia to codeshare between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy
Airberlin and Alitalia have signed a codeshare agreement covering all of airberlin’s and Alitalia’s 412 weekly nonstop flights between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, effective this winter. Furthermore, airberlin’s services to Milan from Dusseldorf and Berlin Tegel will operate into Linateinstead of Malpensa and airberlin's LCC subsidiary NIKI will switch its Milan service from Vienna to Linate.
In addition, the codeshare agreement will apply to certain routes beyond their home hubs. These will include airberlin carrying Alitalia's “AZ” code on domestic flights from Munich to Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin. Airberlin's “AB” code will be carried on selected domestic and international Alitalia flights, including those from Rome and Milan Linate to Naples, Brindisi, Reggio Calabria, Alghero, Athens, Malta, Sao Paolo andRio de Janeiro. Codeshares on Alitalia’s long-haul and some international medium haul routes will require regulatory approval.
FFP agreement; further synergies expected
Airberlin and Alitalia have also signed a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement allowing their passengers to earn and redeem bonus miles on the entireroute network of both airlines from 1-Nov-2014. In a further sign that their partnership will not stop there, they expect further synergies to arise from "optimised aircraft rotation and avoidance of expensive overnight aircraft stops."
Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO of airberlin, said in a statement: “The codeshare agreement with Alitalia raises the importance of Italy for airberlin to a new level. We are optimising our service for both business and holiday travellers by operating our flights to Linate, the most convenient airport to Italy’s number one business and fashion destination Milan. Together with Alitalia, we are going to offer the most extensive nonstop route network between top destinations in Italy and Germany.”
Gabriele Del Torchio, CEO of Alitalia, said: “We are very pleased to sign with airberlin this agreement that will allow Alitalia to offer its guest more direct frequencies between Italy and Germany and an extensive flight schedule, optimal for business daily round trips.”
Germany-Italy is more important to airberlin than to Alitalia
The agreement is of greater significance to airberlin than it is to Alitalia. Italy is its second most important international destination country afterSpain (albeit a fairly distant second). Based on data from OAG for the week of 13-Oct-2014, Italy represents 10% of airberlin's international seatcapacity and 7% of its total capacity. Airberlin operates 30 routes between Germany and Italy and seven routes between Switzerland and Italy. Its subsidiary NIKI operates three routes between Austria and Italy.

For Alitalia, Germany is only its 11th biggest destination country, representing only around 3% of its international seat capacity and less than 2% of its total seat capacity (source: OAG, the week of 13-Oct-2014). Alitalia has only three routes between Italy and Germany. Austria and Switzerland feature even less prominently in Alitalia's scheduled, which has only two routes in each of these countries (Rome and Milan to Vienna and Rome to Geneva and Zurich).

Little overlap between airberlin group and Alitalia…
The routes operated by Alitalia and the airberlin group from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to Italy are largely complementary to each other. Alitalia does not operate on any of the 30 routes flown by airberlin between Germany and Italy, nor on airberlin's seven Switzerland-Italy routes. Alitalia's three routes to Germany (Rome to Frankfurt and Munich and Milan to Frankfurt) are not operated by airberlin group airlines and nor are its two Switzerland routes.
…except between Austria and Italy
There are only two city pairs where there is overlap, both of which are operated by NIKI and Alitalia. These are Vienna to Rome Fiumicino and Vienna to Milan.
According to OAG data for the week of 13-Oct-2014, NIKI is the leading airline on Vienna-Rome Fiumicino, with 48% of seats. Alitalia has a share of 24%, Austrian Airlines has 17% and easyJet 10%.
On Vienna-Milan, NIKI currently operates to Malpensa, but will switch this to Altalia's main Milan base at Linate. NIKI has a 31% share of Vienna-Milan seats and Alitalia has 10%. Austrian Airlines also operates the city pair, flying to Malpensa, with a seat share of 59%.
Airberlin is number one on 23 out of 30 routes it operates from Germany to Italy
Airberlin's 30 routes from Germany to Italy are split between Berlin Tegel (eight routes), Duesseldorf (eight), Munich (six), Stuttgart (five) and Cologne/Bonn, Frankfurt and Nuremberg (one route each).
They are comparatively small, niche-like routes in terms of airberlin's seat capacity. Airberlin operates more than 2,000 weekly seats on only three routes to Italy (Berlin to Rome and Milan and Duesseldorf to Milan). This compares with seat capacity on the top ten international routes on its network, which range from 20,000 seats down to 9,000 seats per week.
Nevertheless, airberlin has strong market positions on its Italy routes, ranking number one by seats on 23 of the 30 and number two on the remaining seven. Based on city pairs, airberlin's most frequent competitor is Germanwings, followed by Lufthansa, easyJet (which is the main competitor from Berlin) and Ryanair.

But airberlin is a distant number two overall on Germany to Italy
Overall, airberlin is the number two ranked airline behind Lufthansa by number of seats between Germany and Italy. Airberlin's share of 15% compares with Lufthansa's 40%, which becomes 62% when Lufthansa subsidiaries Germanwings and Air Dolomiti are added.
Ryanair is close behind with 12%. Seventh-ranked Alitalia's 2% market share will mean that the airberlin-Alitalia codeshare will encompass 17% and make little direct difference to airberlin's competitive position between Germany and Italy.

airberlin is ranked a fairly distant third behind SWISS and easyJet on routes between Switzerland and Italy, with a market share of 10% by seats.Etihad Regional, which awaits regulatory approval to join the Etihad equity alliance, has 7% of this market and Alitalia has 6%. Airberlin and Etihad Regional already codeshare on Zurich to Catania and Olbia.
If Etihad's investments in Etihad Regional and Alitalia are completed, then its equity partners will have a combined 23% share, still behind SWISS and easyJet, but representing a much more significant position.

Benefits for both Alitalia and airberlin
The biggest part of this new agreement is Germany-Italy, where Alitalia's 2% share is very small. So how does each party benefit from the partnership? For Alitalia, the main benefit will be to open up to its passengers more destinations in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland) that carry its AZ code, facilitating transfers and providing its frequent flyers with additional opportunities to redeem their points. It should also enjoy some additional feed from airberlin into that part of its network that will carry the AB code.
For airberlin, the main advantage from the agreement should be additional feed into its network. Although Alitalia's capacity to Germany is small, its presence at many of the Italian airports that airberlin serves (Fiumicino, Linate, Catania, Cagliari, Malpensa and Naples are all in Alitalia's top ten) will provide many opportunities for passengers from elsewhere to connect to airberlin's network under the AZ code. Airberlin will also be able to offer its passengers a wider network in Italy and beyond.

Partner feed has become very important to airberlin…
Feed from codeshare partners has become an important theme for airberlin over the past couple of years. The airline's passenger load factor grew from 77% in 2010 to close to 85% in 2013, partly assisted by partner feed and also by cuts in capacity. It has returned to capacity growth in 2014 and this increases the need to generate additional traffic through its network. However, its passenger load factor has slipped by 1.5ppts in 9M2014, suggesting (among other factors) that the impact of partner feed may be weakening.
Common codeshare bookings with oneworld partner airlines more than tripled in 2013, although this growth slowed to 12% in 1Q2014 and just 2% year on year in 2Q2014. Airberlin expects that the new codeshare agreement with US Airways, commenced in Jun-2014, will give a further boost to its oneworld common booking numbers.
Common codeshare bookings with Etihad Airways grew by 74% in 2013, but this also slowed to 12% in 1Q2014 and just 2% year on year in 2Q2014. Airberlin and Etihad aim to generate additional revenue from their codeshare of EUR200 million between them in 2014.
Airberlin had expected its winter 2014/15 schedule to stimulate growth rate with its new Abu Dhabi services from Stuttgart and Vienna and the increased frequency of its Berlin Tegel-Abu Dhabi service (moving it to double daily from once daily).
… but rejection of Etihad codeshares would threaten its incremental revenue targets.
However, the decision by the German authority to deny permission for Etihad's code to be carried on around half of the routes previously operated by airberlin under the codeshare agreement raises questions over the achievement of its incremental revenue targets. For an airline that has struggled with profitability for several years, this is a worry.

It is, perhaps, another sign of the strength of the anti-Etihad lobby in Germany and Europe more widely. A European investigation into a number of investments by non-EU airlines in European carriers, including Etihad's 29% stake in airberlin, is ongoing. In the airberlin case it is a comfortable side effect for main opponent Lufthansa that the LBA decision would weaken its main - and much smaller - competitor in the German market.
See related report: Airline ownership & control. Why might Europe uphold something its officials call "stupid"?
A number of media outlets have reported that the LBA reversed its decision on the rejection of the airberlin/Etihad Airways codeshare routes for the winter 2014/2015 season, ahead of a meeting between Germany and the UAE on 20-Oct-2014 to discuss their air services agreement (The Wall Street Journal/Reuters/Gulf News, 16-Oct-2014). Airberlin has suggested that the decision was "misunderstanding on the interpretation of the codes-share provisions” in the Germany-UAE bilateral agreement. It will be hoping that the LBA will stick to its revised position in the longer term, rather than taking a more protectionist stance.
The new codeshare with Alitalia is a welcome step for airberlin, but it may not be enough to offset the reduction in Etihad codeshare routes if the LBA again once again rejects them.
CAPA
The new codeshare between airberlin and Alitalia, accompanied by a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement, reveals the guiding hand of Etihad Airways. It is another example of the growing cooperation among Etihad's equity investment airlines, whether current (Alitalia) or prospective (Alitalia). This follows the launch of Etihad Airways Partners, which includes airberlin, but not yet Alitalia, although the latter it seems very likely to join after European Commission approval of Etihad's purchase of a 49% stake in it.
Both the new codeshare and Etihad Partners reflect a more liberal mood within the global alliances, allowing cooperation across alliances. Airberlin and Alitalia will remain members of oneworld and Skyteam respectively. The airberlin/Alitalia codeshare also comes just after an unexpected decision by Germany's federal aviation authority Luftfahrt Bundesamt (LBA) to reject airberlin/Etihad codeshares on 34 routes this winter. These are around half of the routes operated under airberlin's codeshare with Etihad and have received approval in the past.
The LBA appears to have reversed its decision, at least temporarily. If it stands for the longer term, the past week looks like a case of one step forward, two steps back for airberlin.
Airberlin and Alitalia to codeshare between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy
Airberlin and Alitalia have signed a codeshare agreement covering all of airberlin’s and Alitalia’s 412 weekly nonstop flights between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, effective this winter. Furthermore, airberlin’s services to Milan from Dusseldorf and Berlin Tegel will operate into Linateinstead of Malpensa and airberlin's LCC subsidiary NIKI will switch its Milan service from Vienna to Linate.
In addition, the codeshare agreement will apply to certain routes beyond their home hubs. These will include airberlin carrying Alitalia's “AZ” code on domestic flights from Munich to Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Berlin. Airberlin's “AB” code will be carried on selected domestic and international Alitalia flights, including those from Rome and Milan Linate to Naples, Brindisi, Reggio Calabria, Alghero, Athens, Malta, Sao Paolo andRio de Janeiro. Codeshares on Alitalia’s long-haul and some international medium haul routes will require regulatory approval.
FFP agreement; further synergies expected
Airberlin and Alitalia have also signed a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement allowing their passengers to earn and redeem bonus miles on the entireroute network of both airlines from 1-Nov-2014. In a further sign that their partnership will not stop there, they expect further synergies to arise from "optimised aircraft rotation and avoidance of expensive overnight aircraft stops."
Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO of airberlin, said in a statement: “The codeshare agreement with Alitalia raises the importance of Italy for airberlin to a new level. We are optimising our service for both business and holiday travellers by operating our flights to Linate, the most convenient airport to Italy’s number one business and fashion destination Milan. Together with Alitalia, we are going to offer the most extensive nonstop route network between top destinations in Italy and Germany.”
Gabriele Del Torchio, CEO of Alitalia, said: “We are very pleased to sign with airberlin this agreement that will allow Alitalia to offer its guest more direct frequencies between Italy and Germany and an extensive flight schedule, optimal for business daily round trips.”
Germany-Italy is more important to airberlin than to Alitalia
The agreement is of greater significance to airberlin than it is to Alitalia. Italy is its second most important international destination country afterSpain (albeit a fairly distant second). Based on data from OAG for the week of 13-Oct-2014, Italy represents 10% of airberlin's international seatcapacity and 7% of its total capacity. Airberlin operates 30 routes between Germany and Italy and seven routes between Switzerland and Italy. Its subsidiary NIKI operates three routes between Austria and Italy.

For Alitalia, Germany is only its 11th biggest destination country, representing only around 3% of its international seat capacity and less than 2% of its total seat capacity (source: OAG, the week of 13-Oct-2014). Alitalia has only three routes between Italy and Germany. Austria and Switzerland feature even less prominently in Alitalia's scheduled, which has only two routes in each of these countries (Rome and Milan to Vienna and Rome to Geneva and Zurich).

Little overlap between airberlin group and Alitalia…
The routes operated by Alitalia and the airberlin group from Germany, Austria and Switzerland to Italy are largely complementary to each other. Alitalia does not operate on any of the 30 routes flown by airberlin between Germany and Italy, nor on airberlin's seven Switzerland-Italy routes. Alitalia's three routes to Germany (Rome to Frankfurt and Munich and Milan to Frankfurt) are not operated by airberlin group airlines and nor are its two Switzerland routes.
…except between Austria and Italy
There are only two city pairs where there is overlap, both of which are operated by NIKI and Alitalia. These are Vienna to Rome Fiumicino and Vienna to Milan.
According to OAG data for the week of 13-Oct-2014, NIKI is the leading airline on Vienna-Rome Fiumicino, with 48% of seats. Alitalia has a share of 24%, Austrian Airlines has 17% and easyJet 10%.
On Vienna-Milan, NIKI currently operates to Malpensa, but will switch this to Altalia's main Milan base at Linate. NIKI has a 31% share of Vienna-Milan seats and Alitalia has 10%. Austrian Airlines also operates the city pair, flying to Malpensa, with a seat share of 59%.
Airberlin is number one on 23 out of 30 routes it operates from Germany to Italy
Airberlin's 30 routes from Germany to Italy are split between Berlin Tegel (eight routes), Duesseldorf (eight), Munich (six), Stuttgart (five) and Cologne/Bonn, Frankfurt and Nuremberg (one route each).
They are comparatively small, niche-like routes in terms of airberlin's seat capacity. Airberlin operates more than 2,000 weekly seats on only three routes to Italy (Berlin to Rome and Milan and Duesseldorf to Milan). This compares with seat capacity on the top ten international routes on its network, which range from 20,000 seats down to 9,000 seats per week.
Nevertheless, airberlin has strong market positions on its Italy routes, ranking number one by seats on 23 of the 30 and number two on the remaining seven. Based on city pairs, airberlin's most frequent competitor is Germanwings, followed by Lufthansa, easyJet (which is the main competitor from Berlin) and Ryanair.

But airberlin is a distant number two overall on Germany to Italy
Overall, airberlin is the number two ranked airline behind Lufthansa by number of seats between Germany and Italy. Airberlin's share of 15% compares with Lufthansa's 40%, which becomes 62% when Lufthansa subsidiaries Germanwings and Air Dolomiti are added.
Ryanair is close behind with 12%. Seventh-ranked Alitalia's 2% market share will mean that the airberlin-Alitalia codeshare will encompass 17% and make little direct difference to airberlin's competitive position between Germany and Italy.

airberlin is ranked a fairly distant third behind SWISS and easyJet on routes between Switzerland and Italy, with a market share of 10% by seats.Etihad Regional, which awaits regulatory approval to join the Etihad equity alliance, has 7% of this market and Alitalia has 6%. Airberlin and Etihad Regional already codeshare on Zurich to Catania and Olbia.
If Etihad's investments in Etihad Regional and Alitalia are completed, then its equity partners will have a combined 23% share, still behind SWISS and easyJet, but representing a much more significant position.

Benefits for both Alitalia and airberlin
The biggest part of this new agreement is Germany-Italy, where Alitalia's 2% share is very small. So how does each party benefit from the partnership? For Alitalia, the main benefit will be to open up to its passengers more destinations in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland) that carry its AZ code, facilitating transfers and providing its frequent flyers with additional opportunities to redeem their points. It should also enjoy some additional feed from airberlin into that part of its network that will carry the AB code.
For airberlin, the main advantage from the agreement should be additional feed into its network. Although Alitalia's capacity to Germany is small, its presence at many of the Italian airports that airberlin serves (Fiumicino, Linate, Catania, Cagliari, Malpensa and Naples are all in Alitalia's top ten) will provide many opportunities for passengers from elsewhere to connect to airberlin's network under the AZ code. Airberlin will also be able to offer its passengers a wider network in Italy and beyond.

Partner feed has become very important to airberlin…
Feed from codeshare partners has become an important theme for airberlin over the past couple of years. The airline's passenger load factor grew from 77% in 2010 to close to 85% in 2013, partly assisted by partner feed and also by cuts in capacity. It has returned to capacity growth in 2014 and this increases the need to generate additional traffic through its network. However, its passenger load factor has slipped by 1.5ppts in 9M2014, suggesting (among other factors) that the impact of partner feed may be weakening.
Common codeshare bookings with oneworld partner airlines more than tripled in 2013, although this growth slowed to 12% in 1Q2014 and just 2% year on year in 2Q2014. Airberlin expects that the new codeshare agreement with US Airways, commenced in Jun-2014, will give a further boost to its oneworld common booking numbers.
Common codeshare bookings with Etihad Airways grew by 74% in 2013, but this also slowed to 12% in 1Q2014 and just 2% year on year in 2Q2014. Airberlin and Etihad aim to generate additional revenue from their codeshare of EUR200 million between them in 2014.
Airberlin had expected its winter 2014/15 schedule to stimulate growth rate with its new Abu Dhabi services from Stuttgart and Vienna and the increased frequency of its Berlin Tegel-Abu Dhabi service (moving it to double daily from once daily).
… but rejection of Etihad codeshares would threaten its incremental revenue targets.
However, the decision by the German authority to deny permission for Etihad's code to be carried on around half of the routes previously operated by airberlin under the codeshare agreement raises questions over the achievement of its incremental revenue targets. For an airline that has struggled with profitability for several years, this is a worry.
See related reports:
- Airberlin: Etihad to the rescue after another loss in 2013. Meanwhile codeshare partners are booming
- Airberlin's first 2Q profit since 2009 shows promise from its business model restructuring
It is, perhaps, another sign of the strength of the anti-Etihad lobby in Germany and Europe more widely. A European investigation into a number of investments by non-EU airlines in European carriers, including Etihad's 29% stake in airberlin, is ongoing. In the airberlin case it is a comfortable side effect for main opponent Lufthansa that the LBA decision would weaken its main - and much smaller - competitor in the German market.
See related report: Airline ownership & control. Why might Europe uphold something its officials call "stupid"?
A number of media outlets have reported that the LBA reversed its decision on the rejection of the airberlin/Etihad Airways codeshare routes for the winter 2014/2015 season, ahead of a meeting between Germany and the UAE on 20-Oct-2014 to discuss their air services agreement (The Wall Street Journal/Reuters/Gulf News, 16-Oct-2014). Airberlin has suggested that the decision was "misunderstanding on the interpretation of the codes-share provisions” in the Germany-UAE bilateral agreement. It will be hoping that the LBA will stick to its revised position in the longer term, rather than taking a more protectionist stance.
The new codeshare with Alitalia is a welcome step for airberlin, but it may not be enough to offset the reduction in Etihad codeshare routes if the LBA again once again rejects them.
CAPA
Further route network optimisation – focusing on airberlin’s strenghts
airberlin strengthens long-haul network
Tourism is a key pillar of the network strategy
New opportunities in Italy due to codeshare with Alitalia
New sunshine destinations from Austria and Switzerland
Cancellation of loss-making routes
airberlin will continue to adapt its route network by focusing on increased efficiency and further reducing seasonal effects. This strategic focus on increased efficiency is accompanied by a focus on our core markets Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The network changes see an increase in flights on further routes, such as the transatlantic routes from Dusseldorf to the hubs of its oneworld® partner American Airlines. From these hubs, airberlin guests have in turn access to connecting flights to around 60 additional destinations throughout North America. Furthermore, flights to the hub of airberlin’s partner Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi will offer passengers a better network to the Eastern hemisphere. Alongside the expansion of key destinations the restructuring of the network was also planned in order to achieve a targeted tuning of schedules for non-profitable and highly seasonal routes.
Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Chief Executive Officer of airberlin, said: "We have restructured our route network, strengthening our core markets and eliminating loss-making routes. Our strategy is to serve the key markets with higher frequency and to be a strong competitor on these routes. This network review has led to a system-wide capacity reduction of 5 percent. We build on our market leadership in Berlin, Dusseldorf and Palma de Mallorca and our strong position in other key destinations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This means that we can also offer business travellers a more consistent schedule all year round.”
"As the largest tourist carrier in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we also offer our passengers flights to key touristic destinations in the Mediterranean, Canary Islands and Caribbean, and maintain our position as the market leader in this segment," he added.
The tourism segment reinforces the market leadership
For winter 2014/15, expansion will be seen on the Morocco programme, for instance, in form of more weekly flights to Agadir and a new destination, Marrakech, both served from key airports in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With up to 318 weekly flights from 16 airports in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to a total of 19 destinations in summer 2015 Greece is of key importance for airberlin’s route network.
This winter, airberlin will fly 26 times a week to destinations in the Caribbean thus adding an increase of four weekly flights to its long-haul touristic routes. In summer 2015, airberlin will also increase its frequencies compared to the previous summer with an additional flight from Dusseldorf to Varadero in Cuba.
During peak season in summer 2015, airberlin will operate up to 430 weekly flights from 23 airports in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to Mallorca and is the largest carrier to serve Europe’s most significant holiday airport. Departures from smaller airports to touristic destinations will, in part, be reduced. This applies to airports such as Bremen and Dortmund.
More long-haul flights from Dusseldorf
As a result of this network optimisation, Dusseldorf airport will play an even more important role as a long-haul hub. As early as this winter, there will be daily non-stop flights from Dusseldorf to New York, and from summer 2015, the number of weekly flights will increase to 14. From next summer, airberlin will also fly to Los Angeles more frequently, offering a total of six instead of four weekly flights to the West Coast. Starting this winter, airberlin will also increase the number of European city connections, for example with more frequent flights to Rome, Salzburg and Zurich.
Berlin remains the primary hub but with tighter schedule
Berlin-Tegel airport is a central element of airberlin's network strategy. By increasing the number of flights to New York (once daily) and Chicago (six per week) from winter 2015/16, airberlin will provide a constant year-round schedule, an offer that will appeal to business travellers in particular. The doubling of the frequencies to Abu Dhabi to two daily flights is particularly important, as well, and allows passengers to use Abu Dhabi as a gateway to fly to prime Asian and Australian destinations. To further strengthen its position in German domestic travel, airberlin is also increasing the number of flights from Berlin to Frankfurt from this winter on and will connect the German capital with the city on the Main River with 48 weekly flights. airberlin will no longer serve the non-profitable destinations of Barcelona and Oslo from winter 2014/15. In addition, from May 2015 Miami will no longer be served non-stop from Berlin-Tegel and will instead be connected to the German capital with a daily service via Dusseldorf.
Switching airport operations to Milan-Linate and agreement with Alitalia
The new codeshare agreement between airberlin and Alitalia means that airberlin will in future offer passengers even more flights from Berlin to Milan, further strengthening its position in the Italian market. From as early as 26 October 2014, guests flying into Milan with the airberlin group will also benefit from the change of airport from Milan-Malpensa to Milan-Linate, which is only 20 minutes away from the city centre and a significant hub for Alitalia. From this date, the three daily airberlin flights from Dusseldorf and the two daily flights from Berlin-Tegel will fly into Linate. This also applies to the three daily flights of Austrian airline NIKI, which is part of the airberlin group.
Comprehensive range of Asian destinations through the partnership with Etihad Airways
Co-operation with equity and codeshare partner Etihad Airways is another key aspect of airberlin's network strategy. The networks of both partners are optimally matched and allow airberlin passengers to access the extensive range of flights offered by Etihad Airways to Asia, Australia, to the Indian subcontinent, as well as to further destinations in the Gulf region. For example, destinations in Asian countries such as China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand or Vietnam are already easy to reach with a simple connecting flight via Abu Dhabi.
The continuous enhancement of the flights from Germany to Abu Dhabi, and as of this winter for the first time also from Austria, will give passengers even more opportunities to take advantage of the extensive connecting network of the partner airline. The further expansion of the routes to Abu Dhabi will begin with the launch of a second daily connection between Berlin and the Emirate from 26 October 2014. This provides ideal connecting opportunities to 43 destinations in the Etihad Airways’ network. From 1 December 2014, airberlin will also launch a daily service between Stuttgart and Abu Dhabi. The new route is the first non-stop service between the state capital of Baden-Württemberg and the Emirate. Also new from 24 November 2014: a daily non-stop flight from Vienna to Abu Dhabi. As NIKI's first long-haul flight, this route is of paramount importance for the airline’s network.
More sunshine destinations from Austria and Switzerland
As part of the on-going network optimisation, there will be further adjustments of the European city routes from Vienna. With the start of the 2014/15 winter schedule, NIKI will therefore no longer be offering flights from Vienna to Frankfurt and from Vienna to Copenhagen. From the beginning of 2015, flights from Vienna to Moscow will also no longer be operated. In return, the touristic expertise of NIKI will be enhanced with additional flights to Greece, Italy, Spain as well as Cyprus. Well-connected transfers allow passengers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland and further essential European metropolises to easily connect to the touristic network of NIKI. The airline will offer flights to touristic destinations from five Austrian airports (Graz, Innsbruck, Linz, Salzburg, Vienna). Greece in particular remains a strategic element of NIKI's route network, and will further enjoy stable service in 2015. A new addition to NIKI’s route network from Vienna, alongside the daily flight to Abu Dhabi which will already start this winter, comes in the form of two weekly flights
to Alicante on Spain’s Costa Blanca as well as to Catania in Sicily as of summer 2015.
In Zurich, airberlin will continue to focus on increasing flights to Germany and Austria, and on strengthening the touristic segment. There will be more flights to Berlin, Dusseldorf, Vienna and Palma de Mallorca, for example. From summer 2015, a new twice-weekly service will be offered to Faro. In total, airberlin will therefore record 9 percent more flights at Zurich in 2015 than the previous year.
All the planned changes to the route network will soon be visible in booking systems.

I voli da Milano nella S15 sono stati caricati anche loro da LIN ma con gli orari "storici" di MXP, tipo il primo Berlino che parte alle 9 invece delle 10.45. Magari poi li aggiustano strada facendo o magari rimangono tali. Più avanti sicuramente la cosa sarà più chiara.
Quando verranno messi in vendita i voli con codice AZ?
Volevo andare a Monaco ma da PSR mi offre ancora il doppio scalo LIN-CDG...
Volevo andare a Monaco ma da PSR mi offre ancora il doppio scalo LIN-CDG...
Controllando gli orari specie per il ritorno sulla txl-lin-psr non sono affatto buoni in un caso devi aspettare oltre 4 ore di connessione nell' altro solo 35 minuti molto a rischio ammesso che ti facciano comprare una connessione così breve.
Hai ragione 
Vada per Fiumicino allora…
Curiosità: da quello che so Air Berlin vende voli one-way a prezzi "umani" anche sull'internazionale. Sarà così anche con voli in connessione con segmento AZ?

Normalmente con i code-sharing i vettori non cambiano le politiche tariffarie, quindi non dovrebbero esserci grandi cambiamenti.
Non faccio handling AB da un paio d'anni (la compagnia é passata alla società di flyhighsuf) ma, se le cose non sono cambiate, la tedesca di Etihad funziona praticamente come AZ e in ambito procedurale l'integrazione tra le due sarà abbastanza semplice. Tra l'altro, il sistema ARCO di Alitalia è perfettamente in grado di fare through check-in con Air Berlin.
caricati i codeshare AZ-AB reciprocamente.
Questo vale anche per i collegamenti con Svizzera e Austria.
