However, on 13Dec2017, Lufthansa pulled out of the agreement due to signs from the European Commission that the merger would not be approved. Shortly after, Niki declared bankruptcy and ceased all operations on 14Dec2017 and in Jan2018, Lauda acquired Niki and merged it into Amira Air (>LaudaMotion >Lauda), which then became a scheduled airline

[ – Amira Air was founded in 2004 by investor Ronny Pecik. In 2016, Niki Lauda took over Amira Air and renamed the company Laudamotion. Up until Feb2018, the airline operated chartered business flights with a fleet of business jets. This operation was moved to a new unit to make way for scheduled passenger flights. In Mar2019, the airline changed its brand name from Laudamotion to just Lauda. As of 31 October 2020, Lauda ceased all operations with its assets being handed over to Lauda Europe
