Air Alps (Innsbruck) could be rescued from the scrap heap with news that a new investor has expressed interest in reviving the carrier. In its report, Austrian Aviation Net said the carrier was still in early talks with the potential buyer whose identity is still unknown.
The Austrian carrier officially suspended its own scheduled operations late last year after talks with prospective investors, said to have included REFCA, a Russian investment group, and an undisclosed European prospector, collapsed. It briefly resumed services in February this year when it operated Bremen Hans Koschnick to Zurich flights on behalf of Rostock Airways (Rostock).
