airberlin statement to an article published by manager magazin tomorrow regarding the future of the company

2012-08-23 — /travelprnews.com/ — These rumours are both scurrilous and irresponsible, and we refuse them entirely. These speculations are nonsense and without any foundation.

Etihad Airways and airberlin have a very strong relationship which is starting to show positive progress. Both airlines are wholly committed to their long-term partnership strategy.

In terms of his contract, Mr Mehdorn will remain as chief executive till the end of 2013. It’s business as usual.
