Primera Air Ceases Operations

Files For Bankruptcy Due To 'Unforeseen Events'

Dutch-based carrier Primera Air has filed for bankruptcy, announcing the cessation of all operations on its website.

"Dear Passengers,

"Airline Primera Air and IATA codes PF and 6F have been suspended as of today, October 2nd, 2018," the message said.

"On behalf of Primera Air team, we would like to thank you for your loyalty. On this sad day we are saying Goodbye to all of you.

"Please visit primeraair.com for further updates in next few days. Tour Operator passengers are kindly suggested to address their Tour Operators and Agents for further information and actions.

"Kindly understand that the usual options for contacts (via email or phone) can not be offered any longer."

Buying Business Travel reports that the airline cited delays in the delivery of new Airbus aircraft as one of the reasons for the move. The board for the airline said that it cannot continue operations without additional financing.

Primera Air has been in existence for 14 years. The company says that it lost nearly $13 million in 2017 after it had to ground an airplane due to "corrosion problems."
