PARIS, Sept 19 (Reuters) - Easyjet has withdrawn
from the bidding process for bankrupt French airline Aigle Azur,
a spokeswoman for the British low-cost carrier said on Thursday.
The low-cost operator was among 14 bidders for the collapsed
airline's assets after submitting an "expression of interest"
for its operations based at Paris Orly airport. Air France-KLM
also pulled out on Thursday.
"Easyjet has taken the decision to withdraw from the
submission process to acquire parts of Aigle Azur's operation,"
the company spokeswoman said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
The low-cost airline "remains committed to France" and to
the 19 routes it currently operates from Orly, she added.
