Viking Airlines AB has confirmed that its flights from the UK will be taken over by Greek associate airline Viking Hellas Airlines, giving it time to restructure.
Swedish-based Viking AB has temporarily ceased flying and it has returned all four of its leased aircraft to their lessors.
Although some UK-based Viking AB staff may lose their jobs, the airline said passengers would not be affected as Viking Hellas will take over its flying from the UK.
In a statement released this afternoon the airline said: "Viking Airlines AB will continue its restructuring plan with the aim of completing such in the next three months."
