    EASYJET has strengthened its position in Germany by agreeing to buy part of Air Berlin's operations at Berlin Tegel airport, ending uncertainty over the fate of the failed airline's remaining assets.

    easyJet said late on Friday that it would enter into leases for up to 25 A320 aircraft, acquire take-off and landing slots, and offer jobs to staff, making the announcement shortly after Air Berlin's final flight landed at Tegel.
