Delta To Buy Virgin Atlantic Stake



Delta Air Lines has held talks to buy the 49 percent stake in British carrier Virgin Atlantic that is currently held by Singapore Airlines, two people familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
Delta, the second-largest US airline after United Continental, has been looking to acquire a stake in Virgin Atlantic for more than two years in an effort to expand its access to London's Heathrow airport, the sources said.
Previous deal talks broke down over price and other issues, and there is no guarantee that the recent discussions would result in a pact, the people said. News of Delta's interest in Virgin was first reported by the Sunday Times of London.

Delta has made clear that it would like to expand at Heathrow, a lucrative airport for prized corporate passengers where landing slots are generally hard to acquire.
Delta's SkyTeam global alliance, which includes Air France and 18 other airlines, trails its oneworld and Star Alliance counterparts in slot access at Heathrow.
Richard Branson, who set up Virgin Atlantic in 1984, has been weighing the airline's future for years and two years ago appointed Deutsche Bank to examine offers.
"We are always talking to many airlines on a number of different matters but we never comment on the details of these discussions," a Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman said on Sunday, after the talks were reported by the Sunday Times newspaper.
Delta declined to comment. Singapore Airlines was not available for comment.
Capacity-constrained Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, is operating at close to full capacity after Britain's coalition government blocked its expansion in 2010.

  3. So you are looking to rid your girl of these unwanted stalkers when you
    are drawn to Willow Creek's Black Mirror Castle. Even Halloween parties with the very best Halloween costumes can get dry after everyone's seen the costumes to be seen and passed out the candy to the
    beggars. Play games all night long in keeping with the twenties theme such as various card games
    and crossword puzzles.

  8. In that case, this kind of question should not be taken from any show

    looking for a party atmosphere, this isn't it. The buccal cavity is a small cavity that has neither jaws nor teeth.
