The only SkyTeam Hub they are looking at adding service to is Paris CDG (Air France Hub). So I think 9W will more likely end up in Star Alliance based on these facts.


Must agree with this. Skyteam will have to offer 9W a lot to convince them to join. Looks more likely they've lost 9W to Star. However I doubt the Indian government will allow them to join until Air India joins an alliance!
