Air Berlin was founded in 1978 and later became Germany's second largest airline. After years of losses, Air Berlin filed for insolvency on 15 August 2017 and ceased operations on 27 October 2017 with a net debt of almost €1.2 billion. German airliner Lufthansa took over parts of Air Berlin after receiving permission from the EU in December.
