FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German businessman Alexander Skora is bidding for Air Berlin (DE:AB1) with unidentified international investors and aims to keep it flying with a limited route network, he said in a statement on Monday.
"I mean routes such as Majorca and other selected destinations," he said.
Under his proposal, Lufthansa (DE:LHAG) would take over Air Berlin's long-haul routes and easyJet (L:EZJ) other European routes, the statement said.
Air Berlin, Germany's second-largest airline, filed for bankruptcy protection in August after shareholder Etihad Airways withdrew funding following years of losses.
