| Abstract: | The European airline industry is experiencing a trend towards consolidation, and many carriers are contesting in a highly competitive environment. From 2011-2015, the number of scheduled airlines operating within Europe declined by over 70, and the growing influence of large players such as the Lufthansa Group or the IAG Holding challenges small airlines in their economic viability. Consequently, small firms must find new strategic solutions to secure their continuing existence. The aim of this study was to clarify the chances of survival for small airlines, and if selling the company proactively through an M&A auction could be a beneficial solution to the consolidation trend. Therein, the focus lies in maximizing the transaction price and ensuring the continuity of the brand. Additionally, the study intended to identify key criteria and stumbling blocks for small airlines considering to follow such a strategy. |
