260,000 flight bookings will not be refunded Anyone who has booked directly with the insolvent airline, is empty. This applies to more than a quarter of a million Germania bookings.
The travelers' money is probably gone: More than a quarter of a million flight bookings at the insolvent Germania are not reimbursed by the airline. Travelers are affected in approximately 260,000 cases in a period until the end of May 2020, which had booked directly with Germania. A spokesman for the provisional insolvency administrator said.
According to the current legal situation, therefore, passengers for direct bookings - unlike, for example, package travelers - do not receive compensation for the bankruptcy of an airline. For days there is therefore always the demand for an insolvency insurance for airlines. At the beginning of the week, Germania had filed for bankruptcy and ceased operations. DISPLAY "Our primary goal is to keep the airline operational to keep the take-off and landing slots," said provisional insolvency administrator Rüdiger Wienberg. "That's the basic requirement for a solution that gets business as part or as a whole."
and 20,000 Germania passengers were at their destination at the time the bankruptcy began - their return flights fell or fall, the spokesman said. The return flights refer to a period until the end of February. About a third of these passengers booked directly with the airline online.
