Lufthansa and EasyJet Nose Ahead in Race for Air Berlin
Insolvent Air Berlin will decide Monday on the future of its 140 aircraft and 8,000 employees, with Lufthansa, EasyJet and Condor favourites to divide the spoils of the German airline.
Its supervisory board is set to approve at 1300 GMT the shortlist of bidders for Air Berlin's assets agreed among the company's creditors Thursday, with technical details around winding up the carrier to be thrashed out in the coming weeks.
