Air Berlin is a low-cost airline based in Germany that primarily flies to popular holiday destinations in Europe as well as "city shuttle" routes linking London and Manchester to Germany. The airline is expanding as a pan-European carrier covering destinations without German link-ups: recent new routes have included London direct to Majorca.
