Air Berlin sinks, EasyJet and Lufthansa run. After the declaration of bankruptcy due to the lack of funds from Etihad, its main shareholder, Air Berlin is heading towards bankruptcy, even if the German government will guarantee a bridge loan to ensure at least temporarily the regularity of flights. Competitors will take advantage of it and in particular EasyJet and Lufthansa and in fact the Stock Exchange promptly registers the novelty.
While Air Berlin, in the middle of today's session of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, lost more than 18%, EasyJet and above all Lufthansa ran.
Above all, Lufthansa is today one of the brightest stocks in the Dax and, two hours after the closure, it is gaining 4,7%.
