British travel group Thomas Cook dropped out of talks on Monday morning to combine its airline Condor with German discount airlines German Wings and TUIFly.
“Condor is a strong and profitable business with considerable potential as an independent vendor,” Thomas Cook said in a statement announcing the end of its negotiations.
The option of a fusion between the three airlines turned out to be “not attractive,” the statement said.
Lines M3 and M4 of the Copenhagen Metro are back in service having reopened on Sunday, one day ahead of schedule.
The two lines had been closed so that the Metro can run test operations before opening five new stations on the M4 line this summer.
The tests, which began on February 10th, are now done and the lines were running again as of Sunday evening, a day ahead of the original planned reopening on Monday February 26th.
“We are very pleased to be able to welcome our passengers on to our two lines M3 and M4,” head of operations with the Metro Søren Boysen said.
“The whole test procedure exceeded all expectations and went faster than expected and we can therefore get a head start on our reopening now,” he said.
Time set aside for potential repeat tests was not needed in the event, allowing the test closures to be completed ahead of time.
“Several of our many tests went better than expected and we have therefore not used all the time we needed for extra tests,” Boysen said.
The two lines serve around one million passengers every week, according to the Metro company.

The M3 and M4 lines, the newer sections of the Metro, opened in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
