The prospect of having to contend with high oil prices for a long time to come is precipitating mergers between airlines. The latest major merger is that between British Airways and Iberia, which would be joined by the American giant American Airlines. The new entity would comprise a British Airways-Iberia pairing based on the tried and tested Air France-KLM model. It would have a fleet of nearly 450 aircraft and a network of over 250 destinations. American Airlines would be added through a partnership agreement.<\/p>\n

This application includes two other Oneworld partners, Finnair and Royal Jordanian.
