Just a week ago, Luxair had advised that it had cancelled on flights on the route in question for 48 hours. The Slovenian airline signed an agreement with Luxair to take over the flight route in October 2017, which took effect as of the beginning of 2018.
Adria Airways took over the route after Air Berlin, who had previously run the flights, had declared bankruptcy. In August this year, the two partners entered further negotiations as the number of expected passengers had not been reached.
Luxair had been running flights between Saarbrücken and Berlin in the interim whilst Adria Airways had not yet announced it had filed for bankruptcy. Estonian airline Nordica will take over the flights in the future.

Adria Airways files for bankruptcy
30. September 2019
On Monday, September 30, 2019, Adria Airways filed a motion for bankruptcy proceedings of the company at the Kranj District Court. Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated by the management of the company because of the company's insolvency and based on the Slovenian Financial Operations, Insolvency Proceedings, and Compulsory Dissolution Act (ZFPPIPP) which obligates the management of a company in the position of Adria Airways to file for bankruptcy proceedings of the company.
The court has a three-day statutory period within which it shall decide on the opening of bankruptcy proceedings.
The company announces that it will cancel all scheduled flights due to initiation of bankruptcy proceedings.
