Viva Air Colombia is liquidated

The insolvent low-cost airline Viva Air Colombia will most likely never take to the skies again, as the insolvency administrator has already begun the liquidation process. The planned merger with Avianca has failed. After the approval of the merger, which has now been granted subject to conditions, took a long time, Viva Air Colombia had to cease operations and first file for creditor protection proceedings under local law. At first it looked as if there were several interested parties. But nothing came of it. Ultimately, Avianca also called off the merger, as the conditions were extremely high and, on top of that, there is little point in merging with an airline that is grounded. Now the insolvency administrator has begun the liquidation process with the approval of the court and thus also the sale of the remaining assets.

Taskforce to solve Marabu problems

Condor's sister company Marabu has hardly been out of the headlines since it started operations, as long delays, cancellations and a lack of care for the passengers affected are the order of the day. Now they want to take countermeasures and hope that they will soon overcome the teething problems. The example of Marabu clearly shows that starting with just one aircraft and otherwise buying in ACMI services from Heston, Nordica, Fly2Sky and other providers can lead to chaos in practice. A task force has now been set up. Nordica and the German sister company Condor are now to help Marabu to have fewer delays and cancellations. They have already started to stagger the flight schedule. For example, the Tallinn and Rome connections have been cancelled without replacement. The Egypt routes have also been "staggered". This is intended to give them more flexibility. The fleet is to be further expanded and additional ACMI capacity is to be rented.
