Aigle Azur: four new bids submitted, Air France withdraws Four fresh takeover bids have been submitted for France's Aigle Azur airline after an initial round of takeover offers for the stricken carrier and its 1,150 employees were deemed unacceptable. Air France and the Dubreuil group say they will not be pursuing their takeover bids. Aigle Azur cancelled all flights and ticket sales this month after filing for bankruptcy protection, a move that stranded thousands of passengers, mainly on the airline's core Algeria routes.
