This week, the Danish airline Primera Air announced bankruptcy while flights were still in the air. Thousands of passengers were left stranded at ticket counters. We still don't know why. To quote the DCist news site, quote, "because Primera has terminated its staff, there was no one available for comment." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
