There goes another airline: Sunexpress Germany will be liquidated

[TBSC]

Sunexpress Germany will stop flying on 26 June and will be liquidated. A fleet of 13 aircraft and 1200 employees. The Turkish branch is not affected.

Could it actually be a merger with SunExpress Antalya because running one legal entity instead of two is a lot cheaper?

It’s not only 13 aircrafts. As far as i know also their 7 A330s are affected...

This has to be related to Lufthansa's rejection of the State aid. Big day on the 25th.

By the way, Sunexpress Germany had 13 737 MAX 9 on order.

Today being the 24th I hope your prediction powers are wrong - otherwise I'd ask you for the Saturday Lotto numbers ... :-)

Today being the 24th

... of June

What's St John the Baptist's Day got to do with it? Or would you consider that the demise of Sun Express Germany is the equivalent of being beheaded with your head on a platter for your rivals to ponder ... and buy up your assets?

Just heard from a friend working in the LH group, so hopefully tomorrow good news will actually be announced. Sad to see SXD go though.

Sadly to be replaced by third level pseudo european carriers (turkish but maltese aoc) such as Corendon “Europe” flying out of fake bases in Germany.
