VISITORS
Three early newcomers this morning were Air Berlin B738 D-ABBY (34970) from Hanover with A320 D-ABDP (3093) on the Nuremberg run & these were followed by Adria A320 S5-AAS (0444 ex N444RX, TC-ONF, N444RX, D-ACAF, G-FHAJ, EI-DOD).
We have now seen 51 Air Berlins here since the services began on 7/2 & in case you can't remember them all, they were:
A319 - D-ABGC/H/I/J/L/N/O/P/Q/R/S, D-AHIN/O
A320 - D-ABDP/Q/R/S/W/X/Y, D-ABFA/B/C/F/G/L/M/O
A321 - D-ABCC, D-ALSC
B737 - D-AHXA/B/C/D/E/F/H/J
B738 - D-ABAF, D-ABBJ/Y, D-ABKL, D-AHFZ, D-ATUD/E/F
DH8D - D-ABQB/C/G/H/I
This is not even half the short-haul fleet of 123 aircraft.
