On the 6th January 2008, Air Berlin will run their very last service between Leipzig/ Halle Airport and London Stansted. The reasons they have cited for this route cancellation are the new night time flying restrictions that have been put in place at the airport. We feel this route cancellation is unfair and unjust and are going to petition Air Berlin to re-instate this great route! We will also be getting the support of local businesses so if you are a local business and want to support us - please email us at [email protected] If you are an individual and would like to sign out petition please do so below Thank you

im hearing from so many of you about how much you rely on this flight for work and family visits. im working on getting a meeting with the airport management to talk about these restrictions and will let you know what happens.

i cant believe how much energy is behind this movement right now. reading all your notes about why this flight matters makes it so clear that we arent just asking for a route back but for our connection to stay alive.

Ridiculous decision. Air Berlin is ruining travel options for everyone in the region. Fix the scheduling and keep it open!

This is terrible news. That flight was the only decent way to get to London for work without going through Frankfurt first. Really hope they rethink this.

Total incompetence by the airport management. Why kill off the only direct connection? Makes no sense at all.

So sad to hear this. Travel between these two cities is so important for the local economy.

Please dont stop these flights. It is the easiest way for me to get to uni. Really disappointed.

Use this route all the time to visit family. London is basically impossible to get to now if you dont want to spend an entire day traveling. BRING IT BACK.
