Air Berlin Pilots Pull Dramatic Flypast Stunt for Last Long-Haul Flight

Dramatic footage has emerged of an Air Berlin plane staging a flypast at Duesseldorf Airport on the airline’s final long-haul flight.

The video shows the Airbus A330 from Miami fly low over the runway before banking sharply over the terminal on Monday, October 16. Reuters reported that Air Berlin had suspended the two pilots of Flight AB7001.

Air Berlin filed for insolvency on August 15 and Lufthansa has announced it would buy part of the airline’s operations.
