easyjet eyes up Deutsche BA

LOW-COST carrier EasyJet is in talks to buy British Airways’ German subsidiary Deutsche BA.

A statement issued by EasyJet said: “The German market presents significant growth opportunities for EasyJet and the acquisition of DBA and its transformation into a low-cost airline may represent the most attractive option for EasyJet to enter the German market.”

The announcement comes just days after EasyJet admitted it is also interested in acquiring rival carrier Go.
