Yes, but the leases don't lapse when a firm is taken over. Unless a termination is negotiated, at a considerable cost, the leases will simply be assigned to the new owners and continue to the end of their terms. So the condition of the fleet is important, and whether they are owned or leased, they remain a liability. So Lufthansa now has those leases. It's not likely that any airline interested in operating the bmibaby routes would want to use those particular aircraft to operate them -- they'd be much more likely to want to use aircraft compatible with the rest of their fleets. So, the chances are that, even if some of those routes continue to flown by someone, it won't be those aircraft flying them, nor will the planes be wearing bmibaby liveries. |
