But an interesting twist-An HUF 8 billion capital raise is the only point on the agenda for a shareholders meeting of Hungarian national airline Malév
The planned capital injection, however, is not enough: still needs another HUF 10.5 billion on top of this, business daily Napi Gazdaság learned on Thursday, without citing any sources.
The capital is necessary to bring Malév's net assets up to the minimum required by law. At present, the airline has net assets of negative HUF 22.5 billion.

China’s Hainan Airlines Group (HNA) is considering investing in financially troubled Hungarian airline Malév, with negotiations already ongoing, airline industry trade magazine Air Transport World says it has learned from an insider in China.
The magazine said a successful conclusion would make HNA the first Chinese carrier to invest in a European airline. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met Chen Feng, president of the Hainan Group and one of China’s richest businessmen, on his trip to China last November and they discussed the possibility of Chinese involvement in the airline industry in Hungary
