BERLIN (Reuters) - Air Berlin (>> Air Berlin Plc) sought to reassure customers over its planned drastic restructuring on Friday, saying it continues to operate all flights as scheduled.

Loss-making Air Berlin earlier this week announced sweeping changes to the company, including leasing 40 planes to Lufthansa (>> Deutsche Lufthansa AG), putting its popular tourist flights to destinations such as Mallorca in a separate unit and the loss of around 1,200 administrative jobs.

"I want to reassure every customer that we continue to operate all our flights as scheduled," Chief Executive Stefan Pichler said in a statement.

"We will communicate future schedule changes as a result of the forthcoming restructure well in advance."
