Last A320 in Air Berlin design remains in service for the time being

At the end of March 2024, fans of the cult airline Air Berlin ceremoniously bid farewell to their last remaining aircraft in the classic Air Berlin design. The Airbus A320 was originally supposed to be repainted in Naples in April in order to fly in the colors of the new owner Sundair in the future. However, due to a shortage of skilled workers in the Italian paint shop, the aircraft will remain in use as it is for the time being.

In Sundair's summer flight schedule, the Airbus will continue to fly from Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) to destinations such as Gran Canaria, Palma and Beirut. Sundair boss Marcos Rossello and spokesman Robert Stahn confirmed to the "BZ" that every aircraft is needed due to the peak season and that the repainting had to be postponed. This means that the affected Airbus A320 will continue to fly in Air Berlin's basic livery. The affected aircraft is expected to receive Sundair's new livery in November 2024.
