Air Berlin leases Air Serbia B737

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia has arranged a short-term wet-lease of one of its Boeing 737 aircraft, operated under the Aviolet charter brand, to Etihad Airways partner Air Berlin. The 29-year-old jet, registered YU-ANJ, began operating flights for Germany’s second largest airline this morning between Cologne, Berlin and Stuttgart. The cash-strapped Air Berlin is to slash its operating fleet and allocate forty aircraft to the rival Lufthansa Group, in a significant restructuring effort that will cost more than 10% of the airline's workforce. Air Berlin has required repeated bailouts from shareholder Etihad. This summer, Air Serbia leased the same B737 to Montenegro Airlines for several days.

    Air Berlin/TuiFly crew is worried about the ongoing restructuring. But as they can not easily protest/go on strike in Germany right now, many went for the undeclared strike instead and reported sick.

    This way Air Berlin ran out of crew and Air Serbia is helping out until enough Air Berlin stuff is well again ... ;-)

    Am I wrong that Air Serbia and its crew in this case is knobsticking a bit its colleagues in Air Berlin? JAT had a long history of doing this worldwide one of prime examples being Ansett Austraila strike in late eighties when JAT pilots went there to fly while their Ozzie colleagues grounded the fleet fighting for better t&c's...
