Another British Airline goes bust
British discount airline Debonair, based at London Luton has suspended flights this morning. They are a discount airline in the mould of Easyjet, Go and Ryanair. They are in talks with thier bankers and looking for a buyer. City analysts are tipping Richard Branson, Lufthansa and Swissair as possibles. Debonair's passengers have been left stranded all over Europe.

Several weeks ago a similar company, AB Airlines, also ceased trading.
