AIR BERLIN OFFERS MORE FLIGHTS TO GERMANY FROM SOUTHWEST FLORIDA - MORE ACCESS TO EUROPEAN DESTINATIONS FOR TRAVELERS -

FORT MYERS, Fla. (June 16, 2008) – Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is offering passengers easier access to Europe this summer with the help of Air Berlin. Air Berlin, which recently acquired LTU, resumed its twice-weekly nonstop service to Munich (MUC) from Southwest Florida International Airport in May. A third weekly nonstop flight to Düsseldorf (DUS) will be added to Air Berlin’s schedule on June 24. These flights offer passengers more flexibility and the ability to connect to major European travel destinations, including Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Zurich and London. Air Berlin is Germany’s second-largest airline with 127 aircraft flying to more than 100 destinations throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the world. “We are excited that Air Berlin has brought back the popular Munich flights and increased service to Düsseldorf in time for the busy summer travel season,” said Robert M. Ball, A.A.E., executive director of the Lee County Port Authority. “Air Berlin’s extensive network allows passengers to travel onward from Düsseldorf or Munich to many German airports and top holiday destinations in Europe.” Southwest Florida International Airport served more than 8 million passengers in 2007 and is one of the top 50 busiest U.S. airports.
