Spanair finally shut down late Friday
After several months of speculation, Spanair was finally shut down late Friday 27th January (the last flight landed at 10.00 on Saturday) after the take over talks with Quatar Airlines fell through and The Catalan Regional Government pulled the plug on any more subsidies.
This was not entirely unexpected however, while sadly some 2000 employees are now out of a job, it will provide extra incomew for the remaining Spanish based airlines not leat the IAG Group of BA and Iberia.
Requiat in pacem!
