The Germany subsidiary of the regional airline Sun-Air of Scandinavia, Sun-Air of Germany GmbH, filed for bankruptcy with the Augsburg District Court. A court spokesman confirmed on request that a corresponding entry had been made on January 12, 2021.

The German company was founded in 2013 and is responsible, among other things, for the Airbus company shuttles between Augsburg and Marseille. The flights are operated by the Danish parent company. The vast majority of the personnel stationed in the Federal Republic is employed by Sun-Air of Germany GmbH.

The background is somewhat reminiscent of the story of the Ryanair subsidiary Malta Air: Sun-Air was initially granted and paid out the short-time work allowance. However, the employment office later withdrew the decision and pointed out, among other things, that the company would be foreign. At Malta Air, a court temporarily ordered that the short-time work allowance be granted. According to Danish media reports, Sun-Air expects that the money received will have to be repaid. Now they filed for bankruptcy and the German staff has already been given notice of termination.

According to the company, the flights operated for Airbus from Augsburg are to be continued. Sun-Air of Germany GmbH was not an airline, but rather a kind of "temporary work company" for the German staff who were only on the move in the parent company's machines. Sun-Air is a British Airways franchisee and operates under the BA brand towards end customers.
