Roma, 2 lug - British Airways ha firmato un accordo per l'acquisto della compagnia aerea francese L'Avion. Il costo dell'operazione - 54 milioni di sterline, pari a 68 milioni di euro - comprende il valore d'acquisto della compagnia e l'investimento di 26 milioni di sterline (33 milioni di euro) nel business della societa'. L'Avion e' una compagnia aerea privata che opera con due Boeing 757 la tratta Parigi Orly - Newark (New Jersey, USA). Con il perfezionamento dell'accordo, atteso entro la fine del mese, L'Avion diventera' una sussidiaria di British Airways e sara' integrata in OpenSkies, il nuovo vettore British Airways per le tratte transatlantiche tra i Paesi dell'Unione Europea e gli Stati Uniti.
Willie Walsh, CEO di British Airways, ha dichiarato: ''L'Avion e' una compagnia di successo che e' riuscita a creare e a consolidare un business di viaggiatori premium tra Orly and New York in un periodo di tempo relativamente breve''. ''Presenta molte sinergie con OpenSkies e il suo acquisto offre alla nostra nuova compagnia numerosi vantaggi tra cui la possibilita' di offrire un piu' ampio numero di servizi ed una solida base clienti sul mercato Parigi-New York''.

British Airways to buy France's l'Avion
Wed Jul 2, 2008 7:15 AM BST
PARIS (Reuters) - British Airways (BAY.L: Quote, Profile , Research) has agreed to buy small French business airline l'Avion for 68 million euros (52 million pounds) and it will become part of its new OpenSkies unit, they said in a joint statement on Wednesday.
OpenSkies started on June 19 a Paris Orly to New York JFK connection with a Boeing 757 while l'Avion operates two Boeing (BA.N: Quote, Profile , Research) 757 planes between Orly and New York Newark.
L'Avion started in January 2007 and has transported 65,000 passengers. The acquisition price includes l'Avion's cash reserves of 33 million euros.
Privately-owned l'Avion was originally called Elysair and specialises in business travel. It was one of the last remaining trans-Atlantic all business airlines as the sector was savaged by high fuel prices and cutbacks on business travel.
It was founded by pilot Frantz Yvelin and Marc Rochet, chief executive, who formerly ran Air Liberte.
