Interesting post on the German PPRUNE - an insider claims that it is all a stitch-up and Lufthansa group has bought 10 of airberlin's A330-200 from AerCap in order to stall the interest from other investors in taking over airberlin inclusive of the long-haul ops. Another source alleges that IAG had been looking into that part of airberlin with the aim to expand Level. Depending on how the sale of airberlin itself works out, it is said that Lufthansa is planning to get Eurowings long-haul started at DUS with the help of Brussels Airlines (while until now Eurowings longhaul is exclusively operated by SunExpress)
