The future of the Belgian crane subsidiary is not yet in the towel. If the state aid fails, Lufthansa could even send Brussels Airlines into bankruptcy.

A few weeks ago, Brussels Airlines announced that it would cut back due to Corona. But that shouldn't have been it yet: According to reports, Lufthansa does not want to continue to support the subsidiary if the decision for the German group turns out badly this week.

According to the news portal "Reuters“Representatives of the two airlines will meet today and discuss further steps. In the worst case scenario, the Belgian carrier is threatened with bankruptcy or a sale. An agreement has not yet been reached with the Belgian government - they only want to contribute 300 million euros of the requested 390 million euros.
