Nn so xè, ma sono sempre stato affascinato da qs alleanza, forse perkè con KLM ho fatto il mio primo volo intercontinentale e poi ho fatto una tratta con NW, e sono all'epoca rimasto affascinato da come funzionasse un'alleanza aerea (tanto x rendere l'idea, all'epoca, quando mi hanno detto ke avrei volato KLM nn l'avevo mai neppure sentita nominare....)..
Beh, mi spiacerebbe se dovessero rompere.
KLM could jettison its alliance with Northwest Airlines if needed when it makes its choice later this year to either join the oneworld or SkyTeam global airline groupings, Reuters reported.
"KLM wants to keep its succesful alliance with Northwest," said spokesman Jan Christiaan Hellendoorn.
"But if it is in the best interest of both parties, the contract includes the terms under which the link can be ended."
Hellendoorn commented on reported remarks by chief executive Leo van Wijk in an interview with respected aviation magazine Airline Business, that KLM could seek a divorce with NWA.
Before the end of the year KLM aims to take a decision on joining either the 'oneworld' alliance led by British Airways Plc and American Airlines, or the SkyTeam grouping led by Air France and Delta Air Lines.
But the KLM/Northwest alliance dates back to 1989 and is the longest running of all major transatlantic airline alliances.
Under the name of Wings, the KLM/NWA link was meant to form the nucleus of a wider KLM-led alliance of airlines.
KLM once had a 20% stake in Northwest but now only holds a small residual equity stake in its Minneapolis-based partner.
