ÁPV said Malév would convene an extraordinary general meeting to formally approve the transaction, which will soon be financially closed. The tender for 99.95% of the airline’s shares was called in September 2006.

Fees Malév would pay for the use of these assets would gradually pay off the airline’s statebacked debts. (Bloomberg)
