Lufthansa has made a nonbinding offer for Thomas Cook’s German airline, Condor, with an option to extend it to the UK group’s other airlines, the German carrier's chief executive confirmed today.
"We believe that we can offer Condor good prospects and maintain the business as a whole, both long- and short-haul operations," Carsten Spohr said ahead of the group's annual shareholder meeting in Bonn. Reuters separately quoted Spohr as saying that anti-trust regulations made it unlikely a single buyer could acquire all the Thomas Cook airlines.
