Building on recent successes with COPA, West Jet and United, Avia Solutions has been instrumental in securing new services by Air Berlin (Berlin-Chicago A330 service launching March 2013) and Hainan Airlines (Beijing-Chicago Boeing 787 Dream liner service - launching April 2013). As part of our support to City of Chicago, we developed detailed analysis and held detailed discussion on behalf of the City with both airlines. We continue to support the City of Chicago as it seeks airport development new services and connectivity. Airberlin is continuing its expansion from the USA: as of March 23, 2013 the airline will start operating nonstop flights from Chicago to Berlin, making it the first airline ever to provide a connection between this major U.S. metropolitan city and the capital of Germany. Following the inauguration of the non stop flight from Los Angeles to Berlin in May of this year, this is the second major launch in 2012 for airberlin from the US to Germany thus far.airberlin will start operations on the new route in time for the Easter holidays at the end of March 2013. When the summer schedule starts in May 2013, airberlin will increase the number of nonstop flights from three to five frequencies per week."The new Chicago-Berlin service by European carrier airberlin is a win for travellers coming to and from Chicago, one of the most accessible cities in the world," said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "In addition to more travel choices for passengers, airberlin's new routes will provide an annual regional economic impact of $130 million a year and create new jobs. This is a welcome development as we continue to grow Chicago as a major destination for tourism, culture and business."His Excellency Philip D.
