Malev

[Akrotiri bad boy]

I was just starting to put together a trip to Budapest and thought "what about Malev prices?" A quick search revealed the airline to have been "liquidated" as of 29 June.

I had no idea the airline was in such a precarious position, has anyone got any info on how Malev got into this fix?

Thank's for the PM BUDDY; there's some really interesting, and up to date info there. It must have been quite a sight seeing the entire fleet lined up.

I find it difficult to understand why some folk will go to great lengths to save a commercially failing football club whilst the complete demise of a national flag carrier is just swept under the carpet.
Oh sure, I know the writing was on the wall but the plug was pulled overnight. No attempt at entering Chapter 11, administration, or morphing into Hungarian International Airlines; just liquidation overnight.

Maybe there's more to this

Well they were loosing as much money per week what the average football club looses in a year but apart from that you are 100% right.

No attempt at entering Chapter 11, administration, or morphing into Hungarian International Airlines; just liquidation overnight.

Like privatising it in 2007 and several private owners and state capital injections? What stone have you been under? Or like Johnson said: use google!

Yeah like you smoking something....
