Swissair Reaches Deal with Belgium

Shares in Swiss Air Group have risen in early trading, up nearly 16% after agreeing to pay 258 million Euros to the Belgian carrier, Sebina. That’s in return for pulling out of a promise to raise its stake in the unprofitable airline. Swiss Air did have an agreement with the Belgian government, which owns the other chunk of the airline, to increase its stake to 85%. But, in financial difficulties itself, Swiss Air has been looking to retreat. 

瑞航与比利时达成协议 

在瑞士航空公司集团同意支付两亿五千八百万欧元给比利时的沙巴纳航空公司后，它的股价在早些时候的交易中上升了近16%。以这项交易作为交换，瑞航不必再遵守先前答应增加它在亏损的沙巴纳航空公司的股份的承诺。瑞航曾与拥有沙巴纳航空公司其余股份的比利时政府达成协议，同意把自己在沙巴纳航空公司的股份提高到85%。但瑞航自身的财务状况同样面临重重困难，也在另找出路。
