Germany's FlixBus in talks to cooperate with airlines

German long-distance bus firm FlixBus aims to team up with airlines to provide transportation for air passengers to and from airports in the country, competing with state-owned rail operator Deutsche Bahn. “We are currently in talks with various airlines, including the Lufthansa group,” the company’s co-founder said. FlixBus became a major player on European long-distance routes after Germany liberalised the market for inter-city bus services in 2013. It survived a fierce price war among new market entrants to boost its market share in Germany to more than 90%. <br/>
