Company Information/Traffic Figures September 2011


Berlin (euro adhoc) - In September 2011, airberlin welcomed 3,683,519 passengers
on board, i.e. about 1 percent more than in the corresponding month of the
previous year (September 2010: 3,652,087 passengers). At 82.8 percent, fleet
capacity utilization remained approximately at the previous year's level (+ 0.1
percentage points). Capacity increased by 0.7 percent over the previous year.
The reason is that the 2011 summer vacation in North Rhine-Westphalia extended
into September.

For the period from January to September, airberlin, Germany's second-largest
airline company, was able to increase the number of passengers transported to
27,675,491, i.e. an increase of 4 percent (2010: 26,604,510 passengers).
For the same period, fleet capacity utilization improved from 76.1 to 78.6
percent (+ 2.5 percentage points). Accumulated capacity for the first nine
