Last week we asked… The expected consolidation of the European airline sector is being played out by big name collapses, but who could be next? Which airlines will face the toughest battles this winter and why?
We are keeping our word from last week and will not be commenting on the responses, except to note that there were a surprising number of airlines named by subscribers and readers as being among those that may struggle over the coming winter season in Europe. Two airlines in particular were named most regularly, with a third also securing a higher than average number of selections.
