Some passengers stranded at airports in Spain and Latin America are threatening to go on hunger strike after Spain's Air Comet suspended all its flights.

About 7,000 people are reportedly affected after the airline's fleet was grounded this week by Spain's officials over its failure to pay debts.

The low-cost Spanish carrier owes 17m euros (£15m) to Germany's Nord Bank in lease payments, according to AFP.

Air Comet says it is seeking to lay off all of its nearly 700 employees.

Nord Bank, hahaha!

Their incompetence is now legendary in Germany, only rivalled by Bayern LB.
Second-rate province politicians really shouldn´t be in charge of banks. Or their respective provinces, for that matter.
