Germany’s Sixt SE snapped up concessions to offer its rental-car services at 11 U.S. airports, accelerating its expansion abroad even as the coronavirus pandemic drags down travel.
The deal was part of a bankruptcy sale involving Advantage Rent a Car and has closed, the German company said Monday. It includes the New York area’s three major airports -- John F. Kennedy International, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty International -- which are key hubs for travelers from Europe.
