\"\"French airline Aigle Azur has closed down after it failed to find new investors, leaving 1,150 employees out of work.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s second-biggest airline, which was mostly operating between France and Algeria, had filed for bankruptcy earlier this month and cancelled all its flights.<\/p>\n

A French commercial court on Friday ordered the company\u2019s closure due to the lack of a sustainable offer from bidders.<\/p>\n

Chinese conglomerate HNA Group is the company\u2019s largest shareholder with a 49% stake.<\/p>\n

Aigle Azur transported about 1.9 million passengers in 2018. It also had operated routes to Brazil, China, Russia and other countries in recent years.<\/p>\n
