Silversurfer - Sobelair has been sold to TUI/Prussag.
One of the prinicpal causes of CityBird going into bankruptcy was the unilateral cancellation of a contract by Sabena for the lease of two MD11s. This cost them 2,5bn BFR (US$56.54m) in annual revenues and they had to pay Boeing Capital 3.5bn BFR (US$79.15m) as part of the early termination settlement as a result.
As a result of this, in 2000 it had a net loss of €62 million on revenues of €48.4 million!
Rather ironic really - whilst SN is whinging about being badly treated by SR, they are doing exactly the same to their competition!
