*I know I'm late with this video but it has taken a lot of time, cooperations and work.* 1- I'd like to thank to all the subscribers who sent me audios and helped with German and translations. 2- Danke to Air Berlin for its service all over the years. May this video be as a tribute to this airline.

I was the captain on this flight, and I am now a captain at Easyjet. This was a great flight, made possible many people at the company. I will always miss the airline, the people and the good times.

I flew Air Berlin on my first trip to Europe this past summer, when we reached cruising altitude and the steward started passing out drinks, (I was 20 at the time and couldn’t drink in the US), I asked if we were allowed to have a drink since we were on the airplane now. He just turned to me and said, “This is a German airline! Of course you can have a beer!”. I got to have my first legal drink, a German Warsteiner beer on Air Berlin. I will never forget that so long as I live.

"In over 39 years of operations, Air Berlin never suffered an accident or incident resulting in the loss of life or an aircraft." - Wikipedia Danke!

"You served an island city." Powerful statement spoken lightly. Air Berlin wasn't any other airline (although it became that in their last years), it connected West Berlin to the rest of germany. It played a vital role in keeping the west german exclave within the east functioning. That's why it was so beloved and almost part of Berlin's identity. Many citizens of Berlin would more likely name it alongside the Berlin Airlift than alongside Lufthansa, Air France or BA...

The way he says Air Belin Forever is amazing "Air Belin ... *_FOREVER_* "

RIP AB, you'll never be forgotten ! :(

never flew air Berlin and I'm in tears

'with current information... we can't read it" LOL. also the Bremen ATC sounds like CaptainJoe :D

Why tf am I crying? Nothing but class all around from everyone involved. Air Berlin, you'll always be my favorite skin for my A320 in P3D.

I like the part when they say "Air Berlin forever"...

One word. Emotional.

Every single day an AirBerlin Q400 would fly over my town... Now I miss that faint buzzing from the skies. :(

7:24 "What a wonderful tour over Berlin"

Im holding back tears, this video is so powerful

Between the amazing dialogue over ATC with the 4EVR crew and the ground cannon salutes at the end of the video, I am not ashamed to say that all of it brought me to tears. Absolutely fantastic video. Long live Air Berlin ❤️❤️

That was really touching to follow. Thanks especially for sharing this one

This is one of the sadest videos I've seen :'( Thanks for the effort and thanks to Air Berlin!

Great video! Nice to finally hear the ATC version as i was at Tegel airport when it landed - also the double water salute was great to see live!

The UK military used to fly with Air Berlin from Hannover to Birmingham and Birmingham to Paderborn and every flight I went on was so pleasant. Flight attendants were very nice and professional and will never forget the heart shaped chocolate they gave to everyone at the end.

Nearly 5 years ago in the meanwhile and my tears are still coming when I watch these videos. Especially that one. Million thanks to the air traffic controller on duty, to Dave and his crew. I am thankful to be ever a part of this air berlin family. The best years. In my heart I will always stay an Air Berliner!

I want to cry right now…it was touching. It’s sad to see the airline go even if I didn’t fly with them. It’s just sad. And how everyone is going to miss it; it makes me cry. Air Berlin forever

0:59 He says "maybe over the Fernsehturm"

Man you did an AWESOME job with this one! Worth the wait. I think even Captain Joe would give this a thumbs up! I sure did👍

Even though airberlin is gone from the earth, it will live on in our hearts. #ber4evr we love you airberlin and we will never forget you.

I was crying watching this video. It is sad to see such a friendly airline get shut down. I feel bad for Captain Joe.

I cried as never before. Definitely a hatiko for every aviation enthusiast. Danke sehr Air Berlin!

My heart goes out for all you dear German folks. I know how it feels, the Hungarian airline MALEV had it's end in 2012 after operating for 66 years. It's like PAN AM was for the Americans, or Swissair was for Swiss people.

This is just too sad man... Now i'm all in tears, and the music too... Just wanna lay down in my bed and cry. Great video as always tho!

This is a really touching video! I love aviation! It´s a feeling that many people would never understand! Greetings from Argentina

Thanks a lot for this touching video. It's another great memory. Best Regards from an (now former) airberlin employee :(

BEST. VIDEO. EVER. Thank you, VASAviation. You're not "late" with this, by any stretch of the imagination. This is both timely and timeless.

That landing was beutiflul! It was like the cabin crew had to make sure they pull off a nice one for their farewell.

0:58 * "Fernsehturm" instead of Werneuchen (Television tower)

This was by far the most amazing and beautiful video i've ever seen! Thanks! You got me in tears! 😭

I Never forget Aurberlin it was the best Airlines of all😢 Thanks Air Berlin♥️😢

I'm surprised they did that for an airplane company. It must of been well liked

Thanks VAS ! I rarely get teary eyes over any video, but this one got me. What a wonderful tribute !

What a great video! Thank you. Almost brought a tear to my eyes - again... BER4EVR!

Thank you for Air Berlin for the services over the year.

Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into bringing this great video to us. ATC and pilot did a great job and the audio quality was magnificient. Thanks also to the other subscribers that provided you with parts of the audio. It's truly sad for me even though I live over here across the pond in Georgia, USA.

Such a emotional video. Awesome work on the video. It's like leaving the family . Air Berlin Forever. God bless.

Thanks for the Great video! You and your collaborators did an excellent job of capturing a moment in aviation history.

Das Ende von Air Berlin habe ich. (fast) nur am Rande mitbekommen und jetzt nach bald 2 Jahren sehe ich dieses Video was mich einfach nur beeindruckt zurück lässt in jeglicher Hinsicht diese Warmherzigkeit die vor allem die Bremer Flugsicherung an den Tag legt ist Menschlich auf ganz großem Niveau..... correction jeder. beteiligter an dieser Nummer ist der Wahnsinn

Why does it feel like someone is cutting onions with a door stopper next to me. Excellent video as always

That double water salute in the ends says it all.... No words for AB❤️

Amazing ... brought me to tears. The goodbye's and water salute... priceless. Thank you for putting this together....VASaviation.

Well, that got me crying. Beautiful.

I've had the pleasure of flying Air Berlin a lot in the past few years, and it's always been great. During the holiday season they always played christmas songs when boarding, so flying home for christmas was always something to look forward to. They really were a great airline, and it's sad to see them go. I really hope all the employees find a new home with another airline.

All the best for the future these guys..this was heartbreaking.AirBerlin...forever.

Dang 😭 watching this in class didn’t expect to feel this emotional, nose is getting stuffy and I’m trying to play it off like I’m sick

Thanks for making me tear up once more over Air Berlin. Was tough to see them fly in at EDDF for the last time and now this. :(

Rally touched me !! Great video, thank you!!

I've never been to Germany and was still touched by this. Well done.

OMG that make me cry, i loved this Airline so much. THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE NICE FLIGHTS. !!!!!!!!! #BER4EVR

so touchy !!! the weather information the captain can't read...his voice was clearly emotional and made me cry my heart out.

Wonderfully done. Never flown air Berlin but I definitely teared up at the end of this. I felt like I was loosing something.

Whats gonna happen to CaptainJoe? 😦

Air Berlin will be forever remembered. I found it collapsed on Friday. Air Berlin will forever remain in our heart. I wish all the best for the pilots who served the airline.

9:54 onward - damn onions...

This video is EPIC! Wonderfully made! Thank you!

I cry every time I watch this...

Air Berlin we love you❤

Even though I've never flown with them or was close to someone working for airberlin still this video gets me every time. So emotional :'(

Very touching video, I may or may not have teared up a little during the goodbyes lol! Danke to air Berlin and their crews!

RIP AB and thanks for your kind assistance when I was flying from Nuremberg where I was staying with my brother and his partner in Roth for three weeks back in July 2014 to Hamburg where I transferred to a British Airways aircraft taking me home to London Heathrow. Thanks very much to the crew who kindly offered assistance to me as I am a deaf and disabled person and they gave me some gold paper wrapped chocs. Thanks AB and rest in peace.

Thank you for posting this lovely video, Huge thanks to you my kind sir!

Omg . You made me cry 😢 You will always be inside of our hearts ..... AIR BERLIN..... 4EVER❤️

Very touching, a great video and the ATC/Pilot exchange was just great. I'm sorry they had to terminate operations, I've always heard good things about Air Berlin.

Thank you for posting this awesome homage to Air Berlin, I was very fond of this airline, I've used it a lot for my APG-VIE flights to visit my sister, and also her. Nikki still exists of course, but it's sad to see this great airline go. The service and punctuality was always awesome, which says a lot about their great crew, I really wish them the very best! Gracias Air Berlin. Thank you. Vielen Dank, auf wiedersehen!!

I’m watching this three years later with a lump in my throat - great job VAS AVIATION & I agree - Air Berlin Forever!

I really thank you this extraordinary video that will be forever part of history. It touched so deep my heart since I've worked dispatching Air Berlin at Barcelona airport. I only have good words for each one of the crew members, pilots and cabin crew. The human level of eficiency and values. They were part of my life during years. It was awesome to work with them. Thank you. My very best regards.

Perfect video, perfect translation. #BER4EVR over and out

It's so touching!!!! Air Berlin Forever!

Watching this for the 10.000th time! We’ll never forget you AirBerlin!

Emotional and beautiful, thank you Air Berlin, vielen dank

Auch nach über 5 Jahren kommen mir immer noch die Tränen.

Aww geez, you brought me to tears with this video.

Just finished watching this. Why have i not watched it before??! This one's very emotional. All the feels, man. SepAnx very strong with this one to think that i'm not even fron Berlin! Thanks for uploading this! Air Berlin 4EVR!

Never thought I'd be teary eyed over an ATC video

Coolest video ever cheers to the pilots hope they still succeed in their career!👏🙂

My daughters first flight was Air Berlin flight from Saint-Petersburg to Berlin. She was only 3 y.o. (now 9) but she still remember this flight and keep a little gift from Air Berlin - small plane in their colors. And it was my first trip to Berlin. Unforgettably. Oh.... Thank you Air Berlin!

Quality takes a lot of time sometimes! Absolutely beautiful!!

very beautiful congratz on 38 years greatings from malaysia #AirBerlinForever

How bittersweet, so tastefully done!

Really touching, those ATC messages, firetrucks and all... never flew with airberlin, but I know how good they were. Also, I hate goodbyes :/ Congratz VASAviation!!

Oh my...I'm crying. It was the most touching aviation video I have ever seen.

Touched my heart

I love this channel, I love your work. I don't care how late you deliver your video as I know it must be a great one. This is a tough video too watch... Air Berlin, forever.

Ah until he spoke german i was wondering why he has no german accent XD well he is not german XD

AirBerlin I miss you so much :( it was always a pleasure to fly with you!

It makes me cry... Great video.

*AirBerlin.. Forever.*

why i had to cry ..... i miss you Air Berlin #BER4EVR

und so verabschieden wir uns von dem als "Air Berlin" bekannten riesen. Auf Wiedersehen und Dankeschön.

this is hard. after 39 years they serve the nation, it all gone in just one night. Can't imagine what happen to all of 3000 employees. I read that only 1000 of them absorb by Easyjet. what happen to the rest of them? its just a very hard feeling since i'm also work for my national airlines and they really having a bad time now, but still fight to survive. Goodbye Air Berlin. Sky has no limit, and you'll be back soon.

I'm not crying, You Are!

Awesome ! Very moving moment !!

Tried my best to hold back the tears. Great video ❤

At 0:47 he's asking for Vectors over the Berlin "Fernsehturm" (instead of "Werneuchen") - beautiful memories, thanks for posting this!
