Germany throws Lufthansa a $9.8 billion lifeline, agreeing a bailout which gives Berlin a veto in the event of a hostile bid for the airline

Lufthansa has been locked in talks with Berlin for weeks over aid it needs to survive an expected protracted travel slump, with the airline wrangling over how much control to yield in return for financial support.

If Lufthansa faces a hostile takeover, "the economic stabilisation fund may also increase its stake to 25 percent plus one share," the company said, which would offer Berlin a blocking minority. "Before the coronavirus pandemic, the company was operatively healthy and profitable and had good prospects for the future," the economy ministry said in a statement justifying the massive support.

That leaves sign-offs from shareholders – who must agree to any plan that would dilute their investments – and competition regulator the European Commission as the two final hurdles for the rescue.reported Monday that Chancellor Merkel plans to resist potential tough conditions from Brussels, which could include Lufthansa giving up prized landing slots at its bases in Munich and Frankfurt.

Lufthansa secures €9 billion ‘stabilization package’ from German governmentGerman airline said it has received approval for a multibillion-dollar “stabilization package” from a government support fund to keep the company going through the turbulence from the coronavirus outbreak, but cautions the deal has not been approved by the European Union’s executive commission. Here we are again. Rewarding failure and bad management. Got to love these policies. This mentality has passed all the way down to school levels. You now get a medal for coming last. What a time to be alive I believe it will make much of an impact if media call it like it is, specially if they switch world government to citizens....Wishful thinking perhaps...
