Interesting!
Thank you for the article link, Gardyloo. Has there been any speculation on what this could mean for their One World partner, American?
Sure, there's plenty of speculation; but nothing public. Early days.
But AA's focus right now appears on (a) getting anti-trust indemnity for its JV with BA/IB (IBBA? Briberia?) and (b) working to keep JAL in Oneworld and out of the clutches of DL/NW.
Thank you, Gardyloo. Yes, that would be a shame for One World to lose JAL.
