Perhaps IAG might be interested in buying out Thomas Cook UK to expand LEVEL. They operate the same fleet after all and would give them instant expansion with access to aircraft, slots and crews. |
the airline is what has kept the company afloat over the past year, |

Pardon my ignorance, but would this be good or bad for the airline? Immediately strikes me as negative. |

Lufthansa will only be interested in the Condor long haul slots rather than the aircraft themselves. If a sale of Condor does occur. I'd expect the 767's to be turned into Freighters.

Interesting, might we see Thomas Cook become Eurowings? |

Classic Pprune at work here, 'Strategic Review' gets translated by all the armchair experts into a 'sale'; 'they're making a loss' and all sorts of other made up nonsense presented as fact.
TCX is a profitable airline. Proves what I have thought for a while....that the majority of posters on Pprune don't know what they're talking about It's not about rumours any more - just guesswork, speculation and idle gossip the well regarded Condor name |

Hardly & with this week the Thomas Cook CEO noting the airline division has "great" airport slots inc FRA/MUC/MAN & LGW that has more the appearance of a beauty parade. He also stated they are considering all options when it comes to divestment of individual airline units but could not divulge any more. So hardly speculation on here...Other worthies reporting the "news" includes The Daily Mail...Daily Star...Mirror... & Reuters. Actual stats for Thomas Cook last year are elsewhere recorded as operating profit increased to £129m based on revenue of £3.5b & more than 20m pax carried in 2018. |
G-TCDX operating EXT-KRK-EXT ‘day trip’ today. Anybody know why? Can’t think of any sporting events which might require this particular charter |

My money is on Newmarket. They do lots of day trips to cities around Europe from many UK airports.

Not uncommon to see Thomas Cook or Jet2 operating charters to KRK during the winter season.
