Unhappy Air Holland in Trouble

The following message appeared in De Telegraaf this morning:

(http://reiskrant.nl/nieuws/?url=reis...problemen.html)

Roughly translated it reads:

"Air Holland has this weekend lost two large customers OAD Reizen and Hotelplan. The two touroperators have accommodated their passengers on other airlines.
(...)
Air Holland hopes to find new backers before the 10th of September, when Eurocontrol's request for Air Holland to be forced into bankruptcy will be dealt with in the courts. Eurocontrol is presently owed 1.7million Euros.
(...)
In May a long period of financial uncertainty seemed to have ended, when Tony Gram, owner of VG Airlines (now Delsey Airlines) invested in the company. Air Holland has stated that a further investment by Gram is being discussed."

Best of luck to all at Air Holland during this difficult time !!
