Dba currently operates nine aircraft. Three older Boeing 737-300s are to be retired from service in November.

The airline’s 120 pilots and 175 flight attendants are to be offered comparable jobs within the group and at their current locations.

“A redundancy scheme is being prepared for those dba employees who do not want to accept such offers,” Air Berlin said. “Ongoing discussions, also involving staff representatives, are currently being held with the unions concerned.
