Air France-KLM today announces a further major step in the strengthening of its strategic partnerships with, firstly, the creation of a single global joint-venture between Air France-KLM, Delta Air Lines (Delta) and Virgin Atlantic and, secondly, the strengthening of its partnership with China Eastern Airlines (China Eastern).

These two commercial alliances will be strengthened by equity investments: 
Air France-KLM will acquire Virgin Group’s 31% stake in Virgin Atlantic for around £220 million. 

Delta and China Eastern will each acquire a 10% stake in Air France-KLM by subscribing new shares through capital increases totalling €751 million.

Spännande!
Frågan blir ju nu om man som Flying Blue Gold kommer in i Virgins clublounger när man flyger economy med VS. Det skulle få mig att boka direkt!

Och SAS har ju ett coddshare med Virgin sedan länge. Kommer det att upphöra nu tror ni?
