Adria airplane models on sale to raise claim funds

NEWS FLASH

The bankruptcy administrator of Slovenia’s former national flag carrier Adria Airways has put twenty collectable airplane models on sale in a bid to raise funds to cover over 87 million euros in claims being sought from the failed airline. The models of the Adria Airways Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft, sized 1/50 - 120 cm, are being sold as part of a single package at a starting price of 1.500 euros. The deadline for the submission of bids has been set for August 17. Those participating in the tender must also pay a 150 euro deposit. The bankruptcy administrator has been unsuccessfully attempting to sell a number of Adria’s assets over the past few months, among which are the airline’s brand name, cabin crew uniforms, catering items, pillows and airsickness bags, among others.
