The Thomas Cook subsidiaries Bucher Reisen and Öger Tours can hope for a new owner. The Turkish tour operator Anex Tour wants to take over all employees.



The sell-off at the insolvent German travel group Thomas Cook continues. The Turkish tour operator Anex Tour acquires the Turkish specialist Öger Tours and the last-minute provider Bucher Reisen, as the provisional insolvency administrators announced on Wednesday in Oberursel near Frankfurt. According to information, Anex Tour is taking over all 84 employees at the two company locations in Hamburg and Meerbusch. Silence has been agreed on the purchase price.

"With the experience of Bucher and Öger in the German market and the global expertise of Anex, we bring the company back to its heyday," said the head of the Turkish organizer, Neset Koçkar, according to the announcement. The company has its own offices in 18 countries and employs approximately 6,500 people.

The sale is subject to the approval of the Antitrust Authority and Thomas Cook's Creditor Committee. The aim is for them to be available by the end of November 2019. Bitter for tourists: The already canceled, but already fully or partially paid

Bookings at Bucher Reisen & Öger Tours will not be resumed. A sale of the German Thomas Cook as a whole had failed because of a lack of interest. Now the Oberurseler company is sold in parts. The department store Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof takes over 106 of the 126 travel agencies and thus secures more than 500 jobs.

Competitor DER Touristik is interested in the hotel brand Sentido and the travel agency franchise brand Holiday Land. Thomas Cook hopes to be able to secure well with the targeted sales of half of about 2100 jobs in Germany. The wages and salaries of the employees are secured until the end of November 2019 by the bankruptcy money.
