STRICKEN French carrier Air Lib has officially gone
into bankruptcy after a court ordered it into liquidation.
The carrier was grounded earlier this month after its
operating license was revoked following the collapse of rescue talks.
Airlines, including EasyJet, are now vying for the
45,000 slots left free at Paris Orly.
The former-British Airways
subsidiary struggled to stay afloat after the French government reduced its
financial support.
