Turkish Airlines Reportedly Explores Air Europa Stake as Bid Deadline Looms Turkish Airlines (Türk Hava Yollari Anonim Ortakligi (IBSE:THYAO)) is exploring making a bid for a minority stake in Air Europa (Air Europa Líneas Aéreas S.A.U.), the latest carrier to express interest in the Spanish airline, according to two sources with knowledge of the deal, with binding bids due in the coming weeks. Interested investors have been asked to submit binding bids by early July, one of the sources and two more said. The sources declined to be identified because the terms are confidential. Turkish Airlines' consideration of a bid is significant as there are few examples of carriers outside Europe buying shares in players in the region. The interest has been reported by Spanish online newspaper El Espanol. The deadline for binding bids has not previously been reported. Air France-KLM SA (ENXTPA:AF) and Lufthansa (Deutsche Lufthansa AG (XTRA:LHA)) are also in talks with Globalia (Globalia Corporación Empresarial, S.A.), the holding company of the family Hidalgo that founded the company, about buying a stake, Reuters reported previously. The airline makes just over a quarter of its revenues from Europe. It has a codeshare agreement with Air Europa. Turkish Airlines did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while its shareholder Turkey's Wealth Fund declined to comment. A representative for Globalia and the Hidalgo family said they did not want to comment on an ongoing operation because of confidentiality issues. Lufthansa declined to comment. An Air France-KLM spokesperson said the airline is interested in reinforcing its longstanding cooperation with Air Europa. Binding bids would mark the next phase of a prolonged sale process as Air Europa seeks to raise cash to repay a government loan granted during the pandemic. A previous plan had aimed for binding bids in May, two of the sources said. The process has faced delays due in part to disagreements between members of the Hidalgo family and concerns from interested airlines on the structure of the deal, according to the two sources and a fourth one said. The interested parties are working with advisers to structure bids in the hope that buying a minority stake of about 20% may put them in a better position to take control of the airline in the future, the two sources added. Some potential suitors have expressed concern over a lack of clarity about how they may be able to do that, according to the fourth person with knowledge of the talks. Annuncio • Mar 28
IAG to Consider Selling 20% Stake in Air Europa British Airways-owner International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. (LSE:IAG) will consider selling its 20% stake in Air Europa (Air Europa Líneas Aéreas S.A.U.) as the Spanish airline's owner continues talks with Air France-KLM SA (ENXTPA:AF) and Deutsche Lufthansa AG (XTRA:LHA) to sell a stake in the company, IAG's Chief Executive Officer told Reuters. The move comes as European airlines have called for further consolidation of the sector, with many focusing on key routes in southern Europe as a target for expansion. "It's something that we are going to decide when (Globalia) take a decision about what they do with the company (Air Europa). We can stay or we can leave," IAG Chief Executive Officer Luis Gallego said on March 27, 2025. IAG scrapped a deal to buy Air Europa last year after it couldn't convince EU competition regulators that its proposed remedies were sufficient. Gallego said IAG was still interested in taking a stake in Portugal's TAP as IAG seeks to pursue a double-hub strategy in Iberia with Madrid and Lisbon as key points. However, elections in Portugal are set to delay TAP's sale, which means the conditions for any deal are still unclear. "If there is continuity with the current government, I think the process is going to be delayed maybe two, three months," Gallego said. "If there is a new government, I think we are going to have a bigger delay." He added that IAG's interest in TAP was contingent on its ability to be able to integrate the airline into its broader group and processes. "What we need to see is not only the stake, but also the freedom that you have to manage the company," he said. Annuncio • Mar 27

Deutsche Lufthansa Reportedly Explores Sale of its Insurance Brokerage Unit Albatros and Insurance Business Delvag Deutsche Lufthansa AG (XTRA:LHA), the German airline, is looking to sell its insurance brokerage unit Albatros and insurance business Delvag, according to people familiar with the matter. The country’s largest carrier is working with advisers to find a buyer for the two units in a push to streamline operations, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are confidential.

Lufthansa Reportedly Seen as Ready to Bid for ITA Airways Stake A bid from Deutsche Lufthansa AG (XTRA:LHA) for Italia Trasporto Aereo S.P.A. (ITA Airways) could come early next week, three sources familiar with the matter said on January 13, 2023, in a crucial step to speeding up the full privatisation of Italy’s state-owned company. The privatisation of ITA, which officially replaced loss-making Alitalia in 2021, has proved a headache for the Italian government which in December passed a decree to initially sell a minority stake in order to facilitate a full divestment. On Jan. 18 potential bidders will not be allowed to access ITA’s financial data anymore, two of the sources said, adding Lufthansa was the only credible potential bidder. A government official said a Lufthansa bid could land even before Jan. 18, signalling the new right-wing administration of Giorgia Meloni was confident of finalising the deal. Lufthansa declined to comment. The government decree allowed bidders to buy stakes through one or more capital increases and stipulated that another airline must end up with a majority stake in ITA after the privatisation process is concluded. One of the sources, who declined to be named, said Lufthansa could initially acquire a 40% stake through a capital increase worth between EUR 300 million and EUR 350 million. The German carrier had initially partnered with shipping group MSC to bid for ITA, but MSC said in November it was no longer interested in the transaction. The previous Italian government of Mario Draghi pledged more than 1 billion euros for ITA and under a deal with the European Union Rome could provide it with an additional 250 million this year.
