Franco-Dutch airline Air France-KLM SA (3112.FR) is studying a
possible tie-up with Scandinavian carrier SAS AB (SAS.SK), French
business daily La Tribune reports in an advanced excerpt from its
Wednesday edition, citing several sources close to the matter.
Air France-KLM is interested in SAS, whose main shareholders,
the Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian governments, want to sell their
stakes and team the company up with a larger player, La Tribune
reports.
"SAS has started an informal consultation procedure and has
contacted us," La Tribune cites an internal Air France-KLM source
as saying.
