The firm, which posted a loss in 2019 and had been struggling with faltering demand before the pandemic, has already flagged it would seek state aid through this format, in a bid to shore up its liquidity.
Other companies such as Air France KLM have also secured bailout deals through state-backed loans, which are funnelled through commercial banks.
