PARIS, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The French government is hoping
for improved offers for insolvent airline Aigle Azur and that
any offer from Air France will save as many Aigle Azur
jobs as possible, junior transport minister Jean-Baptiste
Djebbari said on Tuesday.
"I am hoping that the offers will be improved," Djebbari
told FranceInfo radio.
Privately held Aigle Azur was put under bankruptcy
protection on Sept. 2 and eventually had to halt operations.
Both Air France and EasyJet have expressed an interest
in putting in rescue offers for Aigle Azur.
