WIZZ AIR HOLDINGS PLC sees very limited acquisition interest in state-owned Latvia carrier airBaltic, CEO Jozsef Varadi said on Monday afternoon. The budget airline expects a wider industry shakeout as unhedged carriers bleed liquidity from high fuel prices. Unhedged European airlines face severe solvency pressures following the recent oil price spike, threatening weaker carriers across the continent.
