German news magazine DER SPIEGEL just reported that the German government gave a loan of 150 mio € to AB in order to avoid an immediate stop of all operations which would have been required otherwise (don't forget that we are in the middle of holiday season and no one is interested in lots of stranded families). This money can help AB to fly for about another 3 months. Additionally, the German government expressed hope that LH is able to take over some parts of AB.

Lets wait and see what happens.
