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. Announcement • 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. Announcement • Mar 07

Apollo Reportedly Seeking to Join Airline SAS Investor Consortium U.S. private equity firm Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) is seeking to join the consortium that Scandinavian airline SAS AB (publ)(OM:SAS) last week picked to take it through bankruptcy proceedings, according to a source familiar with the matter. Long-struggling SAS, ravaged by the pandemic and pressured by low-cost rivals, sought bankruptcy protection last year. SAS announced last week that Air France-KLM SA (ENXTPA:AF) and U.S. investment firm Castlelake, L.P. would become new major shareholders alongside the Danish state. Apollo, which last year granted SAS a $700 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) loan to fund its restructuring, had been seen as a likely winner in the bidding round by the airline to raise equity as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan. Apollo could convert the loan into equity at the end of the process. "Apollo is still an active bidder," the source said, adding that the U.S. company was seeking to inject additional cash into SAS on top of what the winning consortium said it would invest. It was unclear how big a stake Apollo would seek or how much it would invest. Total investments by new shareholders, which also include Danish investment firm Lind Invest, in the reorganized SAS would amount to 12.9 billion Swedish crowns ($1.18 billion). SAS, Castlelake, Air France-KLM and Apollo all declined to comment. The Danish finance ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Announcement • Sep 19

Air France Says It Won't Bid for ITA Airways Air France-KLM SA (ENXTPA:AF) announced that it had informed the Italian government it would not bid for an equity stake in Italia Trasporto Aereo S.P.A. (ITA Airways). Sources earlier in January 2023 told Reuters that Deutsche Lufthansa AG (XTRA:LHA) would soon file an offer for ITA, which officially replaced loss-making Alitalia in 2021. "Air France will continue to closely monitor the privatisation process and hereby reasserts its strong interest to maintain its commercial relationship with ITA, which is a SkyTeam member," Air France-KLM said. ITA's privatisation has proved a headache for the Italian government, which in December 2022 passed a decree to sell a minority stake as the first step towards a full divestment. Air France said the ITA privatisation requires the airlines involved to ultimately hold the majority of ITA's capital at the date of the government's exit. The group previously took part in the privatization process as part of a consortium which also included Delta Air Lines and Certares, with the intention of becoming a potential commercial partner.
