It was learned that, for the time being, both airlines will keep their brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a

the parent company is kept under seven keys, but although it will be a minority, in financial terms it will cost much more than if he only owned SKY,&#8221; the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talks began in January of this year, but it was only a couple of weeks ago that an agreement was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related
