Malév hungarian airlines
it is interesting to note that the bridge or rescue package for Malév was blocked by EU, and all previous financial assistance immediately due for repayment (under the auspices of EU competition laws) when Malev hit hard times. Thousands lost their jobs and a great symbol of the nation's pride was lost. clock forward a few years and the AB rescue package goes through. a regular customer of both MA and AB they were both great companies, and i feel equally for employees of both organizations. i do. hope that AB employees find a good way forward in whichever form that might take. it is only a pity that nothing was done, and nothing was allowed, in the case of EU operator Malev, that flew for 66 years connecting central and eastern europe to the rest. it is clearly a double standard, unless of course legislation has been updated and new policy issued, during the interim.
