Boeing 757 Air Berlin

Boeing 757-200 (757-2G5) - Air Berlin / Belair - HB-IHS - Zürich Kloten Airport (ZRH) - August 2009 - The aircraft on the photo is actually operating for the Swiss airline Belair (formerly named 'Balair') which flew under the Air Berlin brand. In 2007, Air Berlin bought 49 percent of Belair and in 2009 it became owner of the complete airline. Two ex-Belair 757's, HB-IHR and HB-IHS were painted in Air Berlin livery. HB-IHS was delivered from the factory to Balair in April 2000. In 2001 Balair stopped flying in 2001 after the demise of Swissair, for which it operated charter flights, but it was soon resurrected as Belair. HB-IHS flew as an Air Berlin aircraft from January 2008 until June 2010. Belair, like Air Berlin itself, was shut down in 2017.
In the late 1990s Air Berlin operated two ex American Trans Air 757s for only short periods, in 1996 and 1998.
