Airberlin recently announced it will be launching its nonstop flights to Chicago from Berlin from March next year. The airline said that Airberlin flights between the two cities would start operating from March 23, 2013. This will make Airberlin the only carrier to offer nonstop flights connecting the two major cities so far.

Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel in his meeting with Airberlin’s top officials has welcomed the commitment of Germany’s second largest carrier to the United States. He said that the launch of Airberlin’s flights services would be beneficial and would attract leisure and business travelers to Chicago.
