At least 50 European airlines at financial risk
http://www.fly.co.uk/news/at-least-5...sk-198293.html
Cannot seem to find the other 45 listed!
The report by Blue Oar securities singled out several airlines as being in the greatest danger of collapse due to current economic conditions, including Italy’s Alitalia, SAS of Scandinavia, the Greek carrier Olympic, Malev of Hungary and Poland’s Lot.

The report in the Times that is mentioned was actually published at the beginning of August and has been discussed elsewhere before, such as the bmi board:

The big question....
What are going to be the knock on effect of XL going down - which other companies are going to be affesced as a result - and, if any are in the danger of going bankrupt, should the consumer not have the right to know.....

I guess once you start counting all the independent city states, the numbers are up there... Some of these are technically territories of the bigger countries though.
