Qatar Airways eyes longer-term aims with IAG stake - FT.com

Qatar Airways eyes longer-term aims with IAG stake - FT.com:



"When one airline buys a minority stake in another, it is often hard to fathom what the purchaser expects to achieve.



A shareholding rarely confers the influence necessary to extract valuable synergies from the relationship. That is especially true when the buyer is foreign. Aviation remains tightly hemmed in by national ownership rules.



Nor is it an obvious way to gain commercial advantages. There are easier ways for two airlines to co-operate on routes, such as code-sharing deals (which allow passengers to travel seamlessly on either carrier’s services) and joint ventures."
