Yes I posted this on the TK board, but thought it appropriate here as well

Not sure that rumour can be substantiated given the size of TK and the losses that QR has been making. Although if even the slightest bit true then this only adds to QR leaving Oneworld

Politically this makes sense as they are basically BFF's and Qatar is the one with the money and Turkey is the 'protector'

Wouldn't it mean TK to Oneworld?

TK's denied this and don't really see it happening, but would love for it to occur.

TK are a good airline. Much better than BA or Iberia in business for inter European flights. I would love them to join. Their long haul product is also excellent .
