Air Berlin A330 subbed for A321
The A330 scheduled to operate AB7494 (evening departure) TXL-AUH on 28DEC14 suffered technical difficulties and as a result a decision was made by AB to substitute the aircraft for an A321 instead.
  • No in flight entertainment
  • No Business Class
  • Insufficient range to fly this route non-stop

Aircraft D-ABCL had to make a refuelling stop in Constantia, Romania enroute adding to the overall journey time.

Business Class passengers offered either a downgrade or a rebook to Business class on flights the following day including overnight hotel accommodation and food expenses as well as EU261 delay compensation.

Does Air Berlin often make aircraft changes like this?
