RE: BA/KLM: Merger?

The deal would create the world’s biggest airline.But it faces stiff opposition from the EC which has stopped many British Airways proposed mergers such as a planned tie with Sabena in the early 1990s.The EC transport policy is mainly dominated by the French who once feared British Airways, but now the mood is changing with Air France now a profitable airline and a major contender in the international arena.If the merger was successful it will bring KLM and Northwest Airlines from Wings Alliance into the Oneworld alliance.
