Air France-KLM, the parent company of Air France and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, has pulled out of the process to acquire a stake in Spain’s privately-owned Air Europa.

Air France-KLM announced Friday that it will take a majority stake in Scandinavian Airlines, the national airline of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Turkish Airlines is considering taking a minority stake in Spanish low-cost carrier Air Europa, according to a report from Reuters on Friday.

Once an early adopter of the superjumbo aircraft, Air France-KLM CEO Benjamin Smith stands by the airline’s 2020 decision to phase out the A380 completely.

The January 2024 incident has prompted both Airbus and Air France to change procedures and add more pilot training events.

While subtle updates have been implemented over the years, the core elements have remained consistent, contributing to the airline’s strong brand identity.

After over two decades with the carrier, Anthony Viaux said in a post on LinkedIn that he planned to resign from his position as captain due to “eco-anxiety.”

After just adding new service to Phoenix in May 2024, the airline plans to launch another U.S. destination next summer.

First debuted in 2002, the A318 is the smallest A320-series variant and, before the A220’s introduction, was the smallest Airbus aircraft.

Air France has announced plans to equip its entire fleet with fast and free internet access powered by Elon Musk’s Starlink.
