New Buyers For Ansett?

New Buyers For Ansett?

Three possible buyers for Australian airline Ansett are being lined up by its administrators after the last minute withdrawal of the Tesna group.

Potential targets, according to the Financial Times, are low cost carrier Virgin Blue, Singapore Airlines and Patrick Corp.

Tesna, which pulled out of a AUD$3 billion (USD$1.5 billion) rescue deal on Wednesday, blamed the Australian government saying that the sale of Sydney Airport was more important to the government than resurrecting the airline, reports the newspaper.
