AIR FRANCE-KLM / ETIHAD-airberlin to Launch Multilateral Codeshare Service


Credo che in OW siano decisamente arrabbiati per questo accordo che porta il suo nuovo associato Airberlin a stringere collaborazione con AirFrance, in particolare BA che è stata la sponsor e grande alleata di AB per portarla in OW adesso si ritrova con il "nemico" francese in casa. Non so quali siano le condizioni legali ma non mi meraviglierebbe se AB in seguito a questo accordo venisse espulsa da OW e magari dovendo pagare laute penali. Ha fatto il doppio gioco entrando in OW quando già sottobanco trattava con ST e penso dovrà pagarne le conseguenze.

Manderanno sicuramente il Board di AB all'inquisizione spagnola (che con IB in casa sarà facilissimo da rimettere in piedi)
 
Posto qui per non aprire un nuovo thread: Etihad apre un nuovo cs con Garuda, e Garuda, prossima ad entrare in Skyteam, modifica il Jakarta – Dubai – Amsterdam in Jakarta – Abu Dhabi – Amsterdam. E' sempre più chiaro che si tratta di accordi non casuali, ma frutto di una strategia precisa.

Posto qui per non aprire altro Thread: il cerchio si chiude. Io scommetto che Air Berlin tra un annetto è in Skyteam:

De Juniac ipotizza un ingresso di Air Berlin in SkyTeam
La partnership con Air Berlin recentemente siglata potrebbe essere solo il primo passo di un'alleanza più ampia.

L'intenzione è stata rivelata dallo stesso ceo di Air France-Klm Alexandre de Juniac in un'intervista pubblicata oggi sul Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. De Juniac ha spiegato che nel primo anno di intesa è prevista una fase di assestamento e di 'conoscenza reciproca', poi l'obiettivo è di sviluppare i mercati della Germania e dell'Est europeo.

Dopo è possibile ipotizzare anche l'ingresso in SkyTeam di Air Berlin, per completare una maggiore integrazione e collaborazione e per meglio combattere contro la crescita delle low cost.

Air France wants Air Berlin alliance change: paper

(Reuters) - Air France (AIRF.PA) wants Air Berlin (AB1.DE) to join its SkyTeam alliance of airlines around the world and abandon its membership of the rival oneworld grouping, according to a newspaper interview with the French carrier's chief executive.

Air France-KLM (AIRF.PA), Air Berlin and Abu Dhabi's Etihad, the German airline's biggest shareholder, said on October 8 they plan to start connecting their networks from October 28 under an agreement to share some route codes.

Air France-KLM is a member of SkyTeam but Air Berlin is a member of oneworld, which includes British Airways (ICAG.L), AMR's AAMRQA.UL American Airlines, Cathay Pacific (0293.HK) and Qantas (QAN.AX).

Alexandre de Juniac, Air France's chief executive, told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview published on Monday that a new partnership with Abu Dhabi's Etihad and Air Berlin would have to first learn how to work together and then draw up an assessment after one year.

"With Air Berlin we want to expand the important markets of Germany and eastern Europe. We know the airline well," de Juniac was quoted as saying.

"Together with it we can defend ourselves better against the low-cost airlines. If we further work closer together along the way Air Berlin must decide if it would stick to the oneworld alliance or switch to the SkyTeam alliance of AirFrance-KLM," he said.

Asked to comment on de Juniac's comments, a spokeswoman for Air Berlin told Reuters: "The membership in the airline alliance oneworld has developed positively both for Air Berlin and for oneworld. The Air Berlin membership in oneworld is independent of the potential code-sharing with other airlines."

Some analysts said oneworld provides limited scope for expansion for Air Berlin and the German carrier is now likely to get more enmeshed with Etihad's network connections after the latter boosted its stake in it to 29.21 percent last December.

Etihad is not aligned with any of the three global marketing alliances - SkyTeam, oneworld and the Star Alliance, whose members include Deutsche Lufthansa (LHAG.DE), Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) and Air China (601111.SS).

"The primary oneworld carriers operating in Germany have retained their operations at Frankfurt and thus provide little connectivity for Air Berlin's hub operation in Berlin," Morgan Stanley said in a note on October 5.

"We also believe Etihad is proving to have a stronger influence on Air Berlin's strategy than oneworld," it added.
