XL Airways Germany files for bankruptcy

XL Airways Germany, which temporarily suspended operations Dec. 14, filed for bankruptcy Dec. 27. Plans to relaunch operations in the summer season are unlikely.
XL Airways had operated a fleet of five Boeing 737-800s on charter and wet-lease services on behalf of tour operators and other airlines. Three aircraft have been wet-leased to North America’s charter CanJet Airlines for the winter season until May 2013; two planes will be stored at Cologne Bonn Airport.
Hamburg Airways will take over the remaining charter contracts for the carrier.
