Well I guess VA will be eagerly waiting to see how the DL/NW merger works out, because interlining with this 'mega-carrier' in the US market would be highly beneficial to VA. It's understandable that VX wasn't VA's first choice for a US partner due to their limited scope on the American continent.
The fact that VA's outlined their plans to fly to South Africa, this idea of
'doing it ourselves' may explain why VA haven't as yet created an agreement with VS. I mean, why wouldn't VA eventually hop on to the Kangaroo Route even if there's a load of capacity already on their? (pardon the puns
)
An Australian-based airline should find enough of a market on this route, right?
