Air Slovakia

Ryanair are announcing the bankruptcy of Air Slovakia with 'rescue' fares from BTS.

Actually, Ryanair isn't an authority for declaring another airline bankrupt and PPRuNe looks askance at premature announcements of the death of an Airline. Their employees, families, passengers and creditors appreciate that. (recognizing that wasn't LGS6753's intent)

In this case, Air Slovakia isn't quite there yet. The authorities have pulled their operating license while they see if they can restructure their finances this week. What FR is doing is offering fares to cover Air Slovakia's passengers while it is preoccupied with the restructuring.

Evileyes - fair comment on the current situation.

Bearing in mind that Ryanair (in the news section on their website) refer to Air Slovakia being bankrupt, would the authorities take a dim view on Ryanair doing so?

They will be painting an aircraft now with "bye bye Slovaks" on it!

Anyone know the whereabouts of the aircraft at the moment, BTS or inpounded elsewhere?

I'm sure I saw another posting after my one earlier (can't remember who it was by) that was critical of Ryanair, but it seems to have disappeared?

You did IJM, that poster removed his post for his own reasons.

Suffice to say that it commented on what he perceived to be an underhanded tactic on Ryanairs part in 'poisoning the well' for Air Slovakia by an untrue statement that they were bankrupt.
