WDL BAe 146-300 D-AWBA at Düsseldorf (Rainer Spoddig)

Air-Berlin‘s acquisition of LTU has affected the BAe 146-300 that LTU has been wet-leasing from WDL Aviation. Series 300 D-AWBA (msn E3134) has been operating for LTU since 1 November 2006, on flights from Düsseldorf to Roma and Lisboa. As Air-Berlin is taking over some of LTU’s routes, such as Düsseldorf-Roma, D-AWBA is now flying for both airlines. As a result, the LTU titles have been removed, resulting in a rather anonymous livery.
