Negotiations on the future of Air Berlin
It comes up in negotiations about the future of the bankrupt airline Air Berlin to a quick solution? On Friday, the concrete discussions start. Lufthansa sees their Chance. (18.08.2017)
For the insolvent airline Air Berlin is known to be – or was – apparently significantly more interested than before. “We have spoken with more than ten interested parties, including a number of airlines,” said Chairman of the Board, Thomas Winkelmann, the newspaper “Bild am Sonntag”. The discussions would take place on the weekend and in the coming week. A complete sale is unlikely. “It is not one, but two or three buyers.” The reason: The areas of the business long distance, business flights and holidays are different.
Easyjet, Tuifly, Condor … or is it LH?
According to their own information is currently negotiating with Lufthansa and two other companies specifically. As interested parties, the British low-cost airline, Easyjet, Tuifly, and Thomas Cook subsidiary Condor apply. The negotiations had started, according to reports on Friday, and should soon be completed. Last Tuesday, the Air-Berlin-to-peak had filed for insolvency after the major shareholder and Partner Etihad, the airline had withdrawn financial support.
For Manager Winkelmann is on offer in the negotiations in a hurry. A sale in the previously mentioned window of time until November is to late. “We want to close the sale at the latest in September. Otherwise, customer confidence in the Airline is waning,” he said. You could say, with a view to some of the irritations of delays.
