airberlin lands in the heart of Berlin

BERLIN, Germany – From June to August 2015, the café in “QII0 – Die Deutsche Bank der Zukunft” in Berlin’s Friedrichstrasse is being transformed into an airberlin lounge. Deutsche Bank visitors can immerse themselves in the world of airberlin products and enjoy a lunch of airberlin currywurst or gourmet Sansibar Business Class dishes, which are otherwise solely and exclusively available on board.

“QII0 is a wonderful stage in the heart of Berlin which accurately reflects the spirit of airberlin. For three months, Berlin’s residents and visitors to the city now have the opportunity to experience our Business Class meals and other airberlin specialities”, said Stefan Pichler, Chief Executive Officer of airberlin, at yesterday’s opening.

Together with Nadin Chucher, Manager of QII0, Stefan Pichler welcomed the first guests to the airberlin lounge and presented the concept of the collaboration.

“We’re delighted to have airberlin as co-hosts in the QII0 lounge. At QII0, visitors can do their banking, as well as learn about new ways of banking and give their ideas and opinions about these. The staff at QII0 speak several languages, because every day we’re visited by people from all over the world. Thanks to airberlin’s involvement, we’ll be even more international in the coming months”, said Nadin Chucher, Manager of QII0.

Until the end of August, visitors will have the opportunity to discover and try out the world of airberlin products every weekday from 10 am in QII0. Every month, “Experience Week” will focus on a special airberlin product. In June for example, this is the Business Class seat.

Several thousand people visit the Deutsche Bank branch every week, of which 40-50 use the lounge every day, where they can now try the Sansibar gourmet food, for which airberlin received the prestigious Mercury Award. Since 2007, airberlin has offered high-quality gourmet menus and snacks from Sylt-based Sansibar on board its flights, and also serves exclusive Sansibar menu creations in Business Class. airberlin’s best-selling in-flight meal is its popular currywurst, with over 150,000 portions sold each year. It can also be spontaneously purchased on board flights of over 90 minutes.
