Noticias Del Resumen De Prensa Vueling Deberá Crecer Sin Niki 23/01 NOTICIAS DEL RESUMEN DE PRENSA VUELING DEBERÁ CRECER SIN NIKI 23/01/2018 IAG no podrá delegar los activos de Niki a Vueling, ya que el administrador concursal otorga la insolvente aerolínea a su fundador, el excorredor Niki Lauda CERODOSBÉ Vueling no tendrá la soñada expansión en el centro de Europa: la aerolínea Niki, que se declaró insolvente tras la caída de Air Berlin, volverá a manos de su fundador, el excorredor de Fórmula 1 Niki Lauda. El consorcio IAG no podrá concretar la operación de compra que había anunciado en diciembre. El grupo aeronáutico había acordado a finales de diciembre comprar los activos de la aerolínea austríaca por 20 millones de euros y se había comprometido a inyectar otros 16,5 millones para garantizar su operatividad inmediata. La idea de IAG era incorporar los aviones, tripulación y slots de Niki a Vueling, y reforzar su presencia en el centro de Europa. Laberinto judicial Los acreedores habían aceptado la oferta de IAG. Sin embargo, una querella presentada con éxito ante la Justicia alemana por el portal de derechos del consumidor Fairplane obligó trasladar a Viena el juicio de insolvencia, ya que el centro operativo de Niki siempre estuvo en Austria y no en Alemania. IAG comunicó que están “decepcionados” porque Niki no forme parte del consorcio De esta forma, se abrió una vez más la carrera por comprar Niki, por la que se presentaron esta vez tres aspirantes: IAG, Niki Lauda, y la irlandesa Ryanair. Al final, la decisión de los administradores concursales fue otorgar la aerolínea a su fundador. Niki Lauda, de 68 años, asumirá así nuevamente el control sobre la aerolínea que fundó en 2003 y vendió en 2011 a Air Berlin. Para poder asegurar su funcionamiento a partir del próximo marzo, Lauda cooperará con la aerolínea alemana Condor y el turoperador Thomas Cook. IAG comunicó a la CNMV que el grupo estaba “decepcionado” por el dictamen de los administradores concursales y la oportunidad perdida en la integración de Niki al consorcio. El grupo formado por Vueling, Iberia, British Airways y Aer Lingus planeaba contratar a 750 de los empleados de Niki en Austria y Alemania e incorporar 15 aeronaves a la empresa catalana..

Due to financial difficulties faced by Austrian Airlines, the Austrian State decided to privatise it in 2008 by selling its majority shareholding of 41.56%. The bid of Germany’s largest airline, Lufthansa, whose hubs are Frankfurt International Airport (Germany) and Munich airport (Germany), was retained.2 In exchange for the transfer of the shares held by the Austrian State, Lufthansa’s bid proposed (i) to pay a purchase price of €366 268.75, (ii) to grant a debtor warrant capable of giving rise to an additional payment of up to €162 million should Austrian Airlines’s financial situation improve and (iii) that the Austrian State3 pay Austrian Airlines a subsidy of €500 million by means of a securitisation structure to be used to increase the capital of Austrian Airlines. In addition, Lufthansa initiated a take-over bid for Austrian Airlines’s remaining floating shares, which more shareholders accepted than was required.

  • Lauda Contrails Copy
    Three-time Formula One world champion Niki Lauda has tested himself as few have. On the racetrack. In the boardroom. In the sky. His is a will literally forged by fire. He knows what he wants and usually gets it. Whatever the obstacle. His high-profile journey has taken him to his present position as founder and CEO of Lauda Air. From its headquarters in Vienna, its leading-edge fleet provides scheduled flights to five continents and charter services to some of the world’s premier business and vacation destinations. As of April 2000, Lauda Air joins the 11-member Star Alliance Network, comprised of such well-known airlines as Air Canada, Lufthansa and United. So what’s left? “The next two years we really have to make the alliance work well, for us and for them,” Niki Lauda says. “Personally, as long as I’m enjoying myself and have new challenges, I’ll continue what I’m doing. If that changes, I will think of something else.” As he has before.
