“No right-thinking government will want to jeopardise the prospect, no matter how remote, of [MAS] being rejuvenated.

He then referred to European airlines such as Air France and KLM’s partnership to become a larger Franco-Dutch group in 2004 and the British Airways-Iberia merger — the last of the continent’s airlines to merge in 2010.
