I proventi, rilevanti, ci sono sempre stati.
Per il resto, se hai una flotta LR risicata, più di tanto non puoi fare.
Le JV miglioreranno lo scenario, mi auguro arrivino presto.

Air France, KLM, and GOL become commercial partners
Jean-Cyril Spinetta, Chairman of AIR FRANCE KLM and Constantino de Oliveira Junior, CEO of GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A., which comprises the GOL and VARIG brands, today signed a commercial cooperation agreement in Sao Paulo.
This agreement will enable the 15 million customers who are members of AIR FRANCE and KLM’s “Flying Blue” and GOL’s 6 million “Smiles” frequent flyer programmes to have access to new Frequent Flyers benefits and destinations.
Beginning 1 May, Flying Blue members can earn Miles on all GOL and VARIG flights. Reciprocally, Smiles cardholders can earn Miles on AIR FRANCE and KLM’s networks. Then, as of 1 July, they will all be able to use their Miles as award tickets on all three airlines (AIR FRANCE, KLM, GOL/VARIG).
To mark this agreement, Flying Blue cardholders will double their Miles on all GOL/VARIG flights between 1 May and 31 July 2009. Similarly, Smiles members will be able to double their Miles when travelling on AIR FRANCE and KLM flights over the same period.
The agreement also makes provision for the implementation of codesharing. It has been agreed that by mid 2009, AIR FRANCE will be adding its code to GOL flights between Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro and thirteen major Brazilian cities: Belem, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Campinas, Curitiba, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Iguassu Falls, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador and Vitoria. The number of cities concerned in Brazil could be increased in the next few months. A similar agreement is being prepared between KLM and GOL.
The cooperation will represent one of the most attractive options for passengers travelling to, from or within South America and Europe: together, the three airlines offer 3,300 daily flights to nearly 300 destinations in 114 countries, and complementary route networks that do not overlap.
“AIR FRANCE and KLM offer excellent services between Brazil, South America’s largest economic power and tourist destination, and Paris-Charles de Gaulle & Amsterdam-Schiphol, and the rest of Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia" declared Jean-Cyril Spinetta. "Our customers travelling to and from Brazil will have an unrivalled choice of destinations and schedules, which reflects our group’s strategic positioning: to ensure the best possible services between Europe and the rest of the world. By developing our network and airline partnerships, we will be able to cope better with the economic crisis.”
“Our customers can use their Miles within our great network, the most extensive in Brazil and South America. Now, through the agreement between Flying Blue and Smiles, they will have access to the entire world” said Constantino de Oliveira Junior. “This commercial agreement will add more quality and even better services to both partners companies. We are proud to connect people, families and businesses throughout the world with such reliable partners as AIR FRANCE and KLM”.

Vietnam Airlines verso l'adesione a SkyTeam
SkyTeam e Vietnam Airlines hanno siglato un accordo preliminare confermando l'intenzione della compagnia asiatica di aderire all'allenaza. Questo accordo segna l'inizio del processo delle trattative che porteranno Vietnam Airlines a diventare membro di SkyTeam nel corso del 2010. La cerimonia di firma è stata tenuta a Hanoi, in Vietnam, alla presenza di Ho Nghia Dung, ministro dei trasporti vietnamita, dei vertici di Vietnam Airlines e di SkyTeam e di altre autorità civili locali.
Vietnam Airlines migliorerà il network di SkyTeam nel Sudest Asiatico con le sue 64 rotte operate verso 20 destinazioni nazionali e 24 internazionali e con una moderna flotta di 50 aeroplani. Con i suoi 9 milioni di passeggeri trasportati Vietnam Airlines porterà un grande valore aggiunto all'alleanza, tra cui 17 destinazioni non ancora coperte dal network SkyTeam.
Vietnam Airlines è stata ufficialmente ammessa come membro IATA nel 2006.
