According to a media report by the British newspaper “Telegraph”, there should be prominent prospects for the insolvent low-cost airline Flybe. It is said to be Air France-KLM and Lufthansa. However, these are likely to be more interested in the take-off and landing rights at London Heathrow Airport.
A few days ago, the "new Flybe" file for bankruptcy after less than a year of flight operations. All flights have been canceled and 276 employees have already received their resignation letters. Two lawyers from Interpath Advisory have been appointed equal trustees. According to their first assessment, only a few days should remain to prevent the regional airline from being liquidated.
The quoted medium writes that Lufthansa and Air France-KLM should primarily be interested in the seven pairs of slots that Flybe holds in London-Heathrow. Furthermore, an eye was kept on the five take-off and landing rights in Amsterdam-Schiphol. According to reports, the liquidators should insist that a potential buyer will also take over assets and liabilities. If the sale is unsuccessful, the slots go back to the respective regulator and are redistributed.
