PARIS (Reuters) - A rescue of French budget airline XL Airways remains possible, junior transport minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said on Tuesday.
"It is still possible to save XL Airways," Djebbari told France 2 television.
Over the weekend, XL Airways called on Air France (PA:AIRF) - in which the French government owns a stake - to discuss a rescue deal to avert the collapse of the budget carrier that halted ticket sales and payments last week.
