Could too much talk of IAG acquiring TAP prevent LAN from getting approval to acquire TAM.
there is any updated indication, aside for a fixed date, on which alliance LATAM wants to engage? My wish and hope is for them to remain firmly in OW, since the new entity seems guided mostly by LAN, so as far as i am concerned TAP may well remain where it is now, in *. It seems to me however that both alliances are buffeting themselves (* with TACA, OW with the proposed acquisition of TAP) against a defection, so the situation is still evolving now.
