Description

On 3 May 2012 a Danish passenger air transport company, Cimber Sterling, filed for bankruptcy to the court in Sønderborg. All 600 employees - aircraft mechanics, cabin crew, pilots and administrative employees - will be made redundant.

Other airliners have already shown interest in the dismissed employees, among others Jet Time that will presumably take over between 80 and 100 pilots, cabin crew and technical staff.
