Deutsche Lufthansa is looking for European acquisitions "about the size" of Iberia, though the Spanish carrier remains too expensive said Lufthansa Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Mayrhuber.

Lufthansa spokesman Michael Lamberty confirmed comments made by Mayrhuber in an interview with Die Welt am Sonntag. The Europe's second-biggest airline, can "theoretically imagine a purchase" of Iberia but, because of takeover speculation the "price isn't right" Lamberty said.

"We can do it, we've done it in the past and we will do it again in the future. It just has to be right" Mayrhuber said according to the newspaper. Lufthansa can ``theoretically buy anyone in Europe,'' he said while reiterating that Iberia is currently too expensive.

Iberia shares have gained 43 percent this year on speculation the carrier may attract more possible bidders in addition to TPG Inc. The Fort Worth, Texas-based buyout firm said in March it may offer 3.4 billion euros for Iberia as carriers prepare for wider access to U.S. routes under the open skies treaty.

finalmente una dichiarazione oltre ogni dubbio! Mi chiedo dove voglia arrivare Lufthansa... finirà per non avere concorrenti con cui fare i conti di questo passo!

-Lufthansa e' pronta ad effettuare acquisizioni nel settore, ma non si trattera' di Alitalia, ne' di Iberia.

Lo ha affermato l'amministratore delegato della compagnia di bandiera tedesca, Wolfgang Mayrhuber, in un'intervista al Welt am Sonntag.

In particolare il manager ha definito "troppo costosa" l'operazione Iberia, a causa delle speculazioni di mercato. Mayrhuber ha aggiunto che Lufthansa ha abbastanza soldi per acquisizioni, per cui non ricorrera' al sostegno dei fondi di private equity. red/ren
