Not quite right. In order to get another state aid of €3.2B EU demanded to limit the fleet at 99 aircraft. Tap is circumvening that with wetleases by Bulgaria Air, Fly2Sky, Nordica, Hifly, Euroatlantic, Xfly and other prestigious wetlease companies. I wonder if a criteria is also somekind of kickback...
