Another one down...

[Blubird]

Air Bourbon har stanset alle flygninger. Selskapet skal ha kjempet for en refinansiering den siste tiden, som tydeligvis ikke har båret frukter.
Selskapet ble stiftet i november 2002, og har flydd mellom Rèunion og diverse byer i Frankrike.

Tourists stranded as Reunion airline goes bust
(Source : Reuters, November 28, 2004)


Hundreds of tourists were stranded Saturday in France's Indian Ocean island of Reunion after regional airline Air Bourbon went bust, cancelling all its scheduled flights. Some 250 passengers gathered Saturday at the airport in the island's capital Saint-Denis, where they had been due to catch a flight to France aboard the company's only Airbus A340. The passengers were told the loss-making firm, launched in June 2003 by a group of private investors, had suspended its activities after failing to agree on a rescue plan with the regional government. Angry tourists shouted at Air Bourbon president Erick Lazarus, who had come to the terminal to explain the situation. Rival firms Air France, Corsair and Air Austral agreed to take on anyone stranded in Reunion or mainland France, for a fee of E300 excluding airport taxes.

och lyckligtvis bokade jag in en god vän på AF ner och Air Austral upp igen. Trist dock att se ännu ett bolag gå dunk.
