Kenya Airways is questioning its future as a SkyTeam alliance member, saying joint ventures (JVs) might prove more valuable to the airline.
“What advantage would we have to stay in SkyTeam? And what when we are independent? We don't have to be in SkyTeam to have JVs and our shareholder structure would not change when we leave,” Kenya Airways CEO Sebastian Mikosz told ATW in Nairobi. “The question for us is to stay or leave the alliance.”
Joint ventures allow for closer cooperation than alliances, he said.
“JVs are really business-driven and have a very deep economic sense. You can easily compete with another member of the same alliance while you don’t compete with your JV partner,” he said.
