Fresh interest in Deutsche BA

British Airways has received fresh interest in its German arm Deutsche BA just days after low cost carrier easyJet pulled out of plans to buy it, the airline said today.

Newspapers reported today that German holiday operator Tui, which owns Thomson Holidays, Lunn Poly and the airline Britannia, had rekindled an earlier interest in the carrier, which operates 130 flights a day and employs 800 people.
