More than 10 companies are interested in purchasing Letecké závody Kunovice or at least some parts of it, says the official receiver of the bankrupt Czech Republic aircraft manufacturer.
The receiver, Miroslav Sládek, says the potential purchasers are from Canada, the Czech Republic, Italy, Slovakia and the USA. "We are preparing the tender, but it has not yet been decided when it will be declared," he adds.
Most of the interest is in the assets and rights of the company's L-410 twin-engined commuter. Representatives of Letecké závody are holding talks with Rekkof Aircraft about restarting Fokker 70 and 100 production, although the talks are understood to be stalled while the sale is negotiated.
Letecké závody was declared insolvent in June (Flight International, 29 June-5 July).
