VIENNA (Reuters) – Lufthansa’s <LHAG.DE> Austrian unit AUA said on Tuesday it has applied for state aid of 767 million euro ($831 million).
“I can confirm that we have submitted an official application for state aid,” said a spokesman for Austrian Airlines.
A large part should be repayable loans and the remainder grants which are still under negotiation, he said.
