This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but is probably worth specifically pointing out nonetheless. We know that airberlin will be ceasing all operations by October 28, 2017 (they've already discontinued their longhaul routes), at which point Lufthansa will be taking over many of their routes and planes under their low cost Eurowings subsidiary.…

Mexicana and Kingfisher continued to be listed long after each airline ceased operations. This time they've gotten their act together!
Fantastic. Farewell Airberlin moochers.
Perhaps the AA lounges will be less crowded for people who actually earn status by flying, not by matching.
@James it seems like it might be worth reading the paragraphs which literally begin with "The reason I think this is worth pointing out", but that's apparently too much work for you.
The British Airways status match email [email protected] doesn't seem to work. Anyone else have this problem?
You are missing the Lufthansa offer for matching silver to freq. Flier and gold/platinum to senator...
@bill
And you wouldn't think people who have airberlin status know this? You mean they were savvy enough to have airberlin status while living in the US for the purpose of using AA lounges (matched into it) but are not aware enough to realize airberlin is shutting down?
I guess this is meant for people like you, who don't quite have enough intelligence to put two and two together.
My husband flew airberlin from ARN to TXL on 17 October and was denied access to the Menzies Executive Lounge in terminal 5, even though he's a One World Emerald tier (through BA). Airberlin passengers can no longer access this lounge.
@james Believe it or not, people might have Airberlin status and not constantly be aware of a) when specifically Airberlin is shutting down and b) what their next move might be, given that they were probably instructed to conduct a status match by a blog like this one. That also doesn't explain why you asked a question that was quite literally answered in the piece, but certainly, continue to be rude on the internet.
@bill
I did not know you could actually read. Or did you not know other people can read? So these people with airberlin status cannot read?
So you are saying these sheeple only knew about the status match through this blog and now need further instruction on what do do? Do you happen to be one of them?
Maybe you can read up on airberlin, as apparently they had these filings and, oh, I do not know, everybody knows they are done?
