Current plan is to operate 38 aircraft for Eurowings/Austrian as wet least, plus two dry leases. Another 75 aircraft will be operated by the new airberlin, with further growth on the longhaul sector (8 additional A330 in the next two years). Niki and Belair will be sold off into a joint venture with TUI and/or Condor. Which leaves airberlin actually with a larger fleet than before and they have to hire both cabin and flight deck crew. Around 1200 employees on the ground have to leave the company though. Roughly half in administration and maintenance.
