Come on guys, calm down a little. This sale offer amounts to a potential change of aircraft ownership NOT operator. Euromanx lease their aircraft,as many other carriers do, and ownership changes are very common in the industry, with aircraft being bought and sold all the time. Aircraft with leases attached are much more valuable to a new owner in exactly the same way as investment property is with a signed-up tenant. Does life on the rock mean you always have to look on the dark side of life.
