This strategic route offers travelers exceptional connectivity to airberlin’s long-haul services from Dusseldorf, including premium routes to Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, and Havana.
With this new Stockholm service, airberlin also boosted its Gothenburg–Berlin schedule to four daily flights, further reinforcing its standing at both Dusseldorf and Berlin hubs. The airline’s network expansion includes additional frequencies to key European cities such as Copenhagen, Venice, Florence, Barcelona, and Budapest, as well as newly launched routes to Sofia and Bologna, responding to increasing demand among both leisure and business travelers.
“Our goal is to elevate our competitive edge in the European market by introducing new destinations and enhancing our core route offerings. This approach is crucial for maintaining leadership, particularly in the high-value corporate travel sector. Central to this strategy are our Berlin and Dusseldorf hubs, where we are optimizing flight integration to offer passengers more streamlined connections, especially for our transatlantic and intercontinental flights,” commented Stefan Pichler, Chief Executive Officer of airberlin.
The expanded schedule ensures that all new and existing routes are well integrated with airberlin’s German hubs, providing travelers with multiple, convenient transfer options to the airline’s growing list of long-haul destinations.
airberlin has increased its weekly transatlantic flights, now operating 58 departures every week from Dusseldorf and Berlin to eight major U.S. cities, reflecting the airline’s commitment to offering one of the most comprehensive flight portfolios in the region.
Service between Stockholm Arlanda and Dusseldorf commenced on May 2, 2016. Shortly after, inaugural long-haul flights from Dusseldorf to Dallas Fort Worth and Boston launched, serviced by the modern A330-200 fleet. The Dusseldorf–San Francisco route began with three weekly flights, ramping up to five per week to accommodate summer demand, while direct flights to Havana now operate twice weekly, offering travelers convenient access to the Caribbean.
