The alliance with air Berlin is attractive for me. I can use the whole sales network of the air Berlin and 24 percent of my own airline at air Berlin sold.

Whenever there is discussion, I make it clear that I do not want any grey zones, just black and white.

Airlines go in the long run at the competition to reason. For the passenger the competition is good, because each competitor tries to undercut the other one.

To make a decision you need to be in a perfect environment: you have to be motivated and surrounded by the right people.

I am someone who places great value on the detail. That was always the case, even in my days as a racing driver.

Grey zones do not interest me at all.

The air travel industry moves into a new phase every five to six years.
