Semnal de alarmă după ce o companie aeriană europeană a intrat în faliment. Scumpirea kerosenului pune presiune pe întreaga industrie

Latvian airline airBaltic has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection amid rising fuel costs and industry pressures, raising concerns for smaller European carriers. Analysts warn that smaller airlines are particularly vulnerable as fuel prices have doubled since the onset of the Iran conflict. Wizz Air has reported increased operational losses and is considering acquiring routes from TAROM, while the overall aviation sector may face consolidation as financial pressures mount. airBaltic aims to restructure its debts and avoid liquidation, with hopes of finding a strategic investor. The winter season is expected to be challenging for airlines with limited resources, signaling potential turbulence in European aviation.
