‘Ansett’ plans Skywest takeover bid
Skywest has received a letter from a Townsville South-based company, Ansett Industries, claiming it will launch a takeover bid for the airline’s holding company, Advent Air.
Terence Byrt, of Ansett Industries, said the takeover offer would be launched after Advent Air listed on the Alternative Investment Market in London this month.
Skywest told the Australian Stock Exchange it had no further information about the bid and had been unable to verify the “corporate existence of the writer of the letter”.
The airline said any takeover bid for Skywest’s holding company would have to comply with Australian regulations.
