La compagnie aérienne allemande Lufthansa, soucieuse de limiter son endettement, prévoit la cession de sa filiale de catering LSG Sky Chefs, rapporte lundi le Financial Times Deutschland. Lufthansa envisage de vendre jusqu'à 49 % de sa filiale d'ici l'an prochain au plus tard, de préférence à un spécialiste des services de restauration qui n'est pas encore présent dans l'industrie aérienne, et d'avoir une option de vente sur les parts restantes, selon des informations du journal. LSG Sky Chefs est une unité rentable qui emploie près de 30.000 personnes dans le monde et qui a réalisé l'an passé un chiffre d'affaires de 2,3 milliards d'euros. Plus petite, la division de services informatiques du groupe a réalisé un chiffre d'affaires de 600 millions d'euros.

The Hawker Typhoon was a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. While the Typhoon was designed to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, and a direct replacement for the Hawker Hurricane, several design problems were encountered, and the Typhoon never completely satisfied this requirement.
