Deal a rischio?
NIKI CEO steps down; IAG deal may be in jeopardy
Austria-based airberlin subsidiary NIKI CEO Oliver Lackmann confirmed he will step down by the end of February as the deal with International Airlines Group (IAG) hits a snag.
“It is logical that with a new ownership (of NIKI) it will also lead to a new management,” Lackmann told ATW. Lackmann, a former Airbus A320/330 captain with airberlin, became CEO in April 2016.
Airberlin filed for bankruptcy August 2017 and ceased operations in October 2017.
NIKI—which filed for insolvency Dec. 13, 2017 and abruptly ceased operations—is still waiting for approval to be taken over by International Airlines Group (IAG) after sealing a deal at the end of December to acquire the Austrian carrier for €20 million ($24 million).
However, a Berlin regional court (Landgericht) ruled earlier this week that bankruptcy proceedings should be conducted in the Austrian regional court in Korneuburg (near Vienna), rather than in Germany, which may put the IAG takeover deal in jeopardy.
Some reasons for that decision are that even though the majority of NIKI’s revenues were generated in Germany, the carrier conducted analysis, financial accounting and other administrative tasks at its main headquarters in Vienna.
Meanwhile, as expected, NIKI also filed for bankruptcy in Austria on Jan. 11, 2018, which could wind up being in parallel with the insolvency house pending in Germany.
The application for bankruptcy proceedings is Austria is said to have been filed by the German insolvency administrator Lucas Flöther. The application was for a so-called secondary procedure, which Korneuburg judges are verifying.
“We assume [we will be able to work] together with the courts in Austria and Germany [for a solution so] the deal with IAG can be completed,” a source close to the process told ATW.
Austrian aviation authorityAustrocontrol has also extended NIKI’s Austrian air operator’s certificate (AOC) by three months until March so the carrier will not lose its slots.
IAG has said it will continue to work with all parties to ensure the transaction goes through as planned. The group intends to eventually relaunch NIKI as an Austrian-based unit of its LCC subsidiary Vueling. ATW

Posto l'articolo del 24 Ore di oggi:
"La Laudamotion GmbH di Niki Lauda ha presentato l'offerta migliore per l'acquisto della compagnia low-cost Niki, che lo stesso ex campione del mondo di Formula 1 aveva fondato nel 2003 e poi venduto ad Air Berlin nel 2011. Lo hanno annunciato gli amministratori della società, precisando che la scelta è avvenuta «al termine di una procedura di offerta trasparente» e che ora l'attesa è per un via libera «rapido» da parte delle autorità tedesche e austriache. Nessun dettaglio sulla transazione è stato reso noto.
Niki era stata posta in amministrazione controllata nell'ambito della liquidazione di Air Berlin e fin dall'inizio della procedura Lauda non aveva nascosto l'interesse a riprendere il controllo della compagnia, tanto da presentare tre offerte negli ultimi mesi. Alle prime due proposte erano state preferite quella di Lufthansa (in seguito ritirata a causa di dubbi antitrust) e poi quella di Iag/Vueling, finita fuori gioco con il riavvio della procedura dopo lo spostamento della sede competente dalla Germania all'Austria. Nell'ultima gara Lauda ha superato la concorrenza della stessa Iag, ma anche Ryanair aveva annunciato l'intenzione di partecipare. La scorsa settimana Lauda aveva annunciato in una lettera aperta che «da marzo 2018 Niki tornerà a vivere come compagnia austriaca con sede e piattaforma operativa a Vienna». «Se la mia offerta risulterà vincitrice - aveva sottolineato - ridaremo insieme slancio alla società e al trasporto aereo austriaco ed europeo».

Air Berlin creditors plan to sue Etihad for damages: source
MUNICH (Reuters) - Creditors of insolvent Air Berlin (AB1.DE) have decided to sue former parent Etihad Airways for damages over its decision to withdraw funding in August, which sent Germany’s second-largest airline into administration, a person close to the matter said.
The creditors have asked the administrator to find a firm to finance the planned litigation, the person also said. Air Berlin and the administrator declined to comment. Abu Dhabi-based Etihad was not immediately available for comment.
The administrator had said he was assessing possible claims against Etihad that could potentially reach more than 1 billion euros, arguing that Etihad did not meet its financial obligations toward Air Berlin, once Germany’s No.2 carrier.
Etihad owned a 29 percent stake in Air Berlin and had been providing funding since becoming a shareholder in early 2012. In April 2017, Etihad sent a letter of support to Air Berlin, saying it would provide funding for the next 18 months.
But in August, Etihad said it would no longer provide funding, saying Air Berlin’s business had deteriorated at an unprecedented pace.
The German government stepped in with a 150 million euro ($185.96 million) bridge loan to keep Air Berlin’s planes flying and prevent thousands of travelers from being stranded while it sought a buyer. That loan takes precedence over other creditors.
Air Berlin’s assets have since been divided up between Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), easyJet (EZJ.L) and former motor racing champion Niki Lauda.
However, the government loan seems unlikely to be repaid in full, leaving other creditors out of pocket too.

Air Berlin creditors decide to sue Etihad Airways for damages

The creditors of Air Berlin decided to go ahead with a lawsuit against Etihad Airways, which used to be the biggest shareholder of the now insolvent airline, insider source told Reuters. Air Berlin’s administrator Lucas Flöther said he is engaged in assessing the claims that could potentially excess €1 billion in damages.
According to Flöther, the Gulf carrier, which held a 29% stake and was the biggest shareholder of Air Berlin, failed to honor their commitment. Etihad was funding the airline since becoming its shareholder and in April, 2017, it sent a letter of support to Air Berlin, claiming it would continue the funding for upcoming 18 months.
However six months later, in August, 2017, the United Arab Emirates flag carrier cut off the German airline, which had to file for bankruptcy as a result. Etihad reasoned that the German airline’s business “deteriorated at an unprecedented pace”.
Reuters report that creditors of Air Berlin asked the administrator to find a firm to finance the planned litigation. NTV reports that the litigation process must be financed externally, since Flöther does not have the necessary five million euros for the proceedings. The insider source claims that the administrator is now trying to find a financier through a tender on behalf of the creditor’s committee.
“The claims against Etihad are potentially the most important asset in the process,” Air Berlin’s administrator told Süddeutsche Zeitung. However, whether the court will find Etihad’s letter to be legally binding - remains uncertain.
Air Berlin suffered financial losses almost every year since 2008. In 2016, the airline reported a record €782 million loss, which increased another €293.3 million at the beginning of 2017. Despite massive losses the carrier continued selling tickets. Six weeks before going into administration, the airline’s bookings stood at €856 million.
After Air Berlin filed for insolvency in August 2017, German government stepped in providing the carrier €150 million to keep planes in the air for another three months. This was to prevent thousands of passengers getting stranded as a result and to secure jobs for 7,200 workers in Germany.
Air Berlin’s assets were divided between Lufthansa, EasyJet and Niki Lauda’s Laudamotion.

Pubblico così come mi è arrivata:
Dear Dr XXX,
On April 1, 2018, the responsible insolvency court of Charlottenburg initiated insolvency proceedings against the assets of topbonus Ltd. and appointed me insolvency administrator.
Right from the start it has been the common goal of the management and the insolvency administration to secure a long-term future for topbonus with the help of a strategic partner. We are close to this goal and, in the next few days, hope to inform you of a new investor who has committed to rebuilding and enhancing the program.
However, with the opening of insolvency proceedings on April 1, 2018, the XX award miles that you had in your topbonus account on that date now become insolvency claims for insolvency reasons, and your mileage balance has been set to zero. From 6 April, 2018, you can make an insolvency claim of the value of these miles at https://topbonus.insolvenz-solution.de. In order to secure the planned payments from the insolvency estate, these claims must be filed by April 24, 2018. Further information for topbonus creditors can be found here.
The process of transferring miles to the insolvency administrator does mean that members will be unable to login to their accounts this week. However, all accounts will be back online on April 9, 2018.
I will keep you up-to-date with information relating to the new investor. Meanwhile, please bear with us whilst we continue this process.
Kind regards
Christian Otto
Insolvency Administrator

Concordo in parte.
70 EUR per un lanyard, o cordino porta badge, non si può sentire.
Ad ogni modo, vedendo i prezzi dei trolleys (https://www.dechow.de/auction/lot/30851/10241686) , sappiate che ne ho due da vendere, entrambi di Compagnie aeree fallite quindi valgono come "reperti storici"
