Well it seems SkyTeam has finally got a bit busy and have formally invited Vietnam Airlines and TAROM (Romainan Airlines) to join it’s alliance.
In theory, this will boost SkyTeams presence in Eastern Europe (with Alitalia nearby), and strengthen it in Asia (where it has Korea Air and China Southern)
In membership terms, Vietnam Airlines will join as a full member, where as TAROM will be joining as an associate member (sponsored by Air France who will represent TAROM).
No formal join dates have been announced, but June is looking good for both of these airlines – suffice to say those on round the world itineraries or those who are looking for something a bit different may find Vietnam airlines to their liking.
