BERLIN, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Lufthansa has no plans
to acquire insolvent British travel company Thomas Cook,
the airline told German newspaper Die Welt on Monday.
It did not rule out an offer for Thomas Cook's German
subsidiary, Condor.
Carsten Spohr, head of Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline,
had express an interest in acquiring a stake in Condor in May.
Those plans were dropped after China's Fosun took a stake in
Thomas Cook.
Condor operates a large number of flights for its parent,
Die Welt said, adding that without that source of bookings it
was a less attractive acquisition target.
