Cimber airlines ( DK ) goes bust

Two fully paid tickets for forthcoming months appear to be difficult to claim back...sigh.

They declared bankruptcy on 03.05.2012. www.cimber.com

Regrettable. The airline which came out of the merger of old Sterling Airways, one of the pioneers of cheap airtravel in Europe and of the regional Cimber Airways now gone. The Ukrainian billionaire who controlled the company through his Cypriot investment company also owns two Swedish regional airlines.

Way to go PostFinance!

I got my refund ( PF´s MasterCard Value Prepaid ) today.

Took only 7 days after calling them ( +41 44 828 3475 option for EN press 4 then 1 ), and then emailing PF ( sc@cardcenter.ch ) all documents ( the Faktura from Cimber, proof of alternate travel arrangements, providing them links of the bankruptcy etc. )

Re: Cimber airlines ( DK ) goes bust

the joys of credit card - they had no choice, they are equal in the contract for anything you purchase with the card and become a creditor. Not you.

You seem surprised. You must be in IT.

There is legally liable, and then there is willing and helpful - sounds like they were the latter. When a company sticks purely to the former then it can take months/multiple contacts.

Re: Cimber airlines ( DK ) goes bust

A few minutes ago, I formally received an email from Cimber´s lawyers with nothing new, basically guiding me to apply against the estate.

I guess PF was very proactive and got it all settled even before the Danish side got ready - Kudos to them.

Swedish budget airline Skyways Express has cancelled all flights after it and its City Airline subsidiary filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday morning.

...

The airlines flew to around 20 destinations mainly in Sweden, but also serviced a number of European cities, including Helsinki, Copenhagen, Prague, Riga, Tallinn, Kiev, Birmingham, Manchester, Lyon and Zurich

...

In neighbouring Denmark the Cimber Sterling airline filed for bankruptcy at the beginning of the month, and according to Swedish public radio, higher fuel prices were likely the main reason the small airlines in the region were going belly-up.

Re: Cimber airlines ( DK ) goes bust

I remember Sterling Caravelles. They were pretty much the last operator in Europe along with Spain's Transeuropa. And Cimber used to fly the VFW614s, the small regional jets with engines on top of the wings.

I never managed to fly either the Caravelle 12 or the VFW-614, only the Caravelle 6 of Alitalia and Iberia and the Caravelle 3 of Tunis Air. Air Algérie and Royal Air Maroc


Here the Caravelle 12 of Sterling
