Travel agents try to save Fischer Air Polska

The rescue team consists of 16 companies, including four tour operators: Exim Tours with its subsidiary lastminute.oferty, Triada and Rainbow. The stake owned by the current shareholder will drop from 71% to 27%, while the remainder will be owned by a consortium led by Krzysztof Moski. "Reasons for our help to Fischer are obvious. As the largest tour operator in Poland we have to ensure there is no gap in charter flights in Poland. Success depends on rational decisions of the management board," said Marek Markiewicz, deputy president of Triada.A similar opinion is expressed by the president of Exim Tours. Finally, Fischer will launch its activities with its equity raised from zl.12 million to zl.34.4 million. "First we have to regain our license and plane. We also have to initiate attempts at raising more money. Most likely this will be additional payments from current investors. In December we want to increase our equity to zl.40 million," said Fischer's financial director Krzysztof Szymanski. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 7) M.M.
