European airlines closing

Monarch have already closed their doors, and Air Berlin seem about to cease operations in their own name. Air Norway / North Flying have just suspended scheduled operations. Maybe Belair will carry on - or maybe not. It's dubious as to whether Skywork in Switzerland will be granted an extension to their AOC beyond the end of October and Nextjet in Sweden is looking pretty ropey as well with a temporary AOC until mid-November and no AOC extension in sight yet. Oh yeah and there's also Alitalia going through the bankruptcy process (again !). I know they are not in trouble but it's looking likely that the Czech airlines CSA and Travel Service will be merged into a single carrier sometime in 2018

I know that after the fat months of summer, the autumn can be pretty lean and this is the time when airlines often have to face the music but are there any other airlines in Europe in serious trouble right now ?
