It does make Skyteam to partner with IT. AI seems to be headed to Star. 9W has relationships with OW partners and S2 with American. If Skyteam wants to tap into markets beyond gateway cities, they need codeshare partners or FFP partners. Kingfisher, with its newly added First Class is definitely well positioned. For now, there does not seem to be a strategic fit - more a tactical fit.
