Seems KLM wanted shot of it, very sad news for what was once Air UK and a thriving european airline well before the low cost thing started, comparable to Midland - Then came the KLM thing and it all went tits up ....
Its ironic that the cloggs have dumped the whole thing after having chewed up Air UK and spat it back out .....
It puts the stoppers on the KLMuk pilots who had bid to transfer back to a life in the UK with Buzz, under the recent BALPA agreement - KLM must have known about the Ryanair talks whilst this was going on - probably this is an easy way out for them.
What off the Buzz/Transavia tie up, and KLM expanding low cost from Schipol etc ...
My biggest concern is for the Buzz pilots who will no doubt looses their final salary pensions ...... what a mess.
Only good thing is that most Buzz FO's who are relatively high houred will all get 737 commands within 6 months .... but will have to sign a bond if they were 146 with Buzz.
I left Air UK/Buzz/KLMuk 2.5 years ago, had regrets for a long time after .... now just glad to see all this happening from a distance !
