BOEING Co (BA.N) had pumped in more than 100 million pounds ($F268m) into Britain’s Monarch Airlines which collapsed last week, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
The capital infusion, through Monarch’s offshore holding company Petrol Jersey, was carried out in several tranches between October 2016 and March this year, the FT said.
“We do not publicly comment on our customers’ financial arrangements but ensure we are always compliant with trade law” Boeing said in a statement to Reuters.
The airline’s private equity owner, Greybull Capital, declined to comment on details of the financing, saying that they were “commercially confidential,” FT added.
It denied that there had been anything secretive about the transaction.
“As a regulated body, all financing arrangements provided to Monarch were reviewed and approved by relevant authorities,” Greybull told the newspaper.
Reuters could not immediately reach Greybull for comment outside regular business hours.
