Spanair workers hold a banner during a protest in central Madrid
Spanair workers hold a banner during a protest in central Madrid, February 9, 2012. Loss-making Spanish airline Spanair ceased operations January 27, grounding all its airplanes after its owner, citing the country's economic crisis, said it would not sink any more money into the company. The banner reads, "Help for Ryanair = Layoffs for Spanair". REUTERS/Andrea Comas (SPAIN - Tags: TRANSPORT BUSINESS CIVIL UNREST EMPLOYMENT)
