"Етихад" скоростно осребряват инвестициите си в Европа: на летището в Рим (Fiumicino) видях няколко витлови машини (ATR на вид, но беше отдалече), брандирани като Etihad Regional.

Ще е интересно, ако някой знае повече по темата - какви са плановете на арабите за консолидация на маршрутната им мрежа в Европа...

Etihad Regional e новото име на швейцарците Darwin от които Etihad придобиха 1/3. Оперират със SAAB 2000 и ATR-72 от Лугано и Женева, като няколко от машините им летят за Alitalia и Air Berlin (в които Etihad също има дял)

"Уикипедия", както винаги, на висота - Каляри и Олбия се намират във Франция... явно корсиканците са окупирали Сардиния, пък аз съм пропуснал :)

Предвид какво правят с "Еър Берлин" и "Алиталия", интересно е дали ще видим Etihad Regional operated by Air Serbia? Балканите сме такава неразорана нива по отношение на регионалните полети...

Etihad Regional вече са собственост на Adria. Новото им име ще бъде Adria Airways Switzerland

Adria Airways buys Etihad Regional

Adria Airways has purchased Etihad Airways' upscale Swiss arm Etihad Regional (formerly known as Darwin Airline) through its new subsidiary Adria Airways Switzerland. Etihad Regional was relaunched in early 2014 to attract Europe's business travellers. The airline will be rebranded into Adria Airways Switzerland. "The decision to sell this minority stake (33.1%) in Darwin is the result of our current strategic review of our investments and the choice to focus on our other partners", Kevin Knight, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer at the Etihad Aviation Group, said. Other shareholders have also sold their stake in the business to Adria, which now has 99.1% ownership in the airline. The remaining 0.9% interest will be acquired shortly. The value of the transaction has not been disclosed, but is believed to be financed by Adria's owners 4K Invest..

In a statement, Adria Airways' CEO, Arno Schuster, said, "Darwin is an excellent airline with experienced management and staff. The expansion of our network and the resulting optimisation of cost structures is a win-win situation for both companies". Adria's Chief Financial Officer, Heinrich Ollendiek, will become the new CEO of Adria Airways Switzerland. Despite the name change, the airline will retain its Swiss Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), as well as bases in Lugano and Geneva. The President of Darwin Airline's Board of Directors, Emilio Martinenghi, said, "We are convinced that thanks to the considerable experience and strong destination network, especially in the Southeast European market, Adria Airways will have a very positive impact, not only on the future of Darwin, but also on the Canton Ticino, the region we serve and which requires good connections to the rest of Switzerland and Europe". He added, "Darwin Airline is well capitalised and solvent, thus able to honour all of its commitments to creditors".

Etihad Regional uses a fleet of six fifty-seat Saab 2000 turboprop aircraft, as well as four ATR 72s, which are currently being operated on behalf of Alitalia. The airline runs flights across Europe, offering passengers direct connections to dozens of major cities. It also taps into a half-dozen points served by Etihad and its codeshare partners Air Berlin and Air Serbia. Etihad's sale of its stake in Etihad Regional represents its first divestment since launching a company-wide strategic review last year of its shareholdings in other carriers. When launching Etihad Regional in January 2014, the former Etihad CEO, James Hogan, described the deal as "a step-change" for the business.

4K Invest, a turnaround fund from Munich, signed a contract for the purchase of a 91.58% stake in Adria Airways at a price of 100.000 euros early last year. It later bought the remaining stake in the Slovenian carrier in order to secure 100% ownership. The transaction marked its first investment in the aviation sector. Since its purchase of Adria, 4K has brought in several new aircraft, boosted the airline's flight network, closed the carrier's base in Poland, ended a commercial cooperation agreement with Estonia's Nordica and has attempted to reduce the company's losses. However, it is yet to publish Adria's 2016 financial report. Late last year, Adria named Captain Tiziano Ponseggi, the Director of Operations at Etihad Regional, as its new Chief Commercial Officer.

100.000 евро за цяла авиокомпания!
Навремето комуно-ориентираните пищяха за това че Балкан бил продаден за без пари!
Да, за толкова е бил оценен! :wink:
