Romania: Airline is said to be interested in insolvent Blue Air

According to a local media report, the Romanian Blue Air, which has been in insolvency proceedings for some time, is said to have a prospective buyer who is said to be showing stubborn interest in the purchase. Negotiations with the insolvency administrator and the authorities have now begun.

The newspaper "Gândul" reported without further naming that it should be an airline. AAAS Director Daniel Geantă also confirmed to the newspaper that there had been repeated talks. He did not name the interested party, but described it as saying that it would be "a mixture of Spain and Portugal".

World2Fly, which maintains flight operations in both states, did not want to comment on the reporting any more than other providers who maintain AOCs in both states. In principle, they do not want to participate in speculation, or else one or the other company wrote that it must be another company, because they could expressly rule out any interest in Blue Air.

The reason why the state agency AAAS is involved in the Blue Air bankruptcy proceedings at all is as follows: Due to various tax liabilities, the government has seized all shares and transferred them to state ownership. However, this could not prevent the fact that after flight operations were stopped and some Lessors brought back their planes, bankruptcy had to be formally declared in March.

In Romania, however, they seem to be particularly strict, because the head of the agency also said that he had forwarded the data of the company that is said to be interested in the Blue Air takeover to the Financial Crimes Bureau. He asked the latter to examine the origin of the funds and, if necessary, to send him a clearance certificate.
