Risk management

airberlin operates in narrow markets, but the Company is affected by a multitude of factors. This is why functioning opportunity and risk management constitutes a fundamental principle for successful operating activities.

The Group ensures the identification of opportunities and risks by means of a tried and tested risk management system. This is regularly adjusted to meet current requirements. The information processes are designed to make sure that the Management is informed in sufficient notice of all relevant developments.

We concentrate on the following matters in particular:

• Changes in the competitive environment
• Price movements on the fuel markets
• Changes in legal requirements and general conditions
• Developments on the interest and currency exchange markets
• Economic developments and consumer behaviour

The Group uses suitable measures to counteract the risks and risk areas identified so that it can react appropriately to events without losing time.
