BMED in crisis as rescue bid fails | Business | Money | Telegraph (583 words)

BMED's financial crisis was triggered by the decision of Syrian financier Wafic Said, whose family owns almost 50pc of the shares, not to put any more money into the company, having already advanced it an £8m loan.
BMED is also talking to BA about possibly amending its franchise agreement, under which it pays 3pc of turnover to fly in the flag-carrier's colours.
