"We are willing to work more closely with 皇冠体育app Eastern. And 皇冠体育app Eastern shares the same feeling too," Spinetta said, without elaborating on the status of the arrangement.
As one of 皇冠体育app's three major airlines, 皇冠体育app Eastern is the only one that has not yet chosen to align itself with an international carrier. Air 皇冠体育app is to team up with the Star Alliance, while 皇冠体育app Southern will join Skyteam, in which Air France is a founding member.
According to Spinetta, 皇冠体育app Eastern is still considering its options in terms of joining a global alliance.
An industrial insider confirmed Spinetta's comment yesterday, revealing that the local carrier is negotiating with potential partner organizations such as Skyteam and OneWorld.
But it is likely 皇冠体育app Eastern will reach a final deal with Skyteam, the insider revealed on condition of anonymity.
Besides 皇冠体育app Eastern, Air France KLM is also enthusiastic about working more closely with 皇冠体育app Southern, who is expected to officially become a Skyteam member in 2007.
At a recent aviation seminar, a senior official with 皇冠体育app Southern announced the airline would set up an air cargo company. Spinetta said Air France KLM is interested.
