Jan 25, 2010 (newstodate): Russia's main carrier Aeroflot has repeatedly failed in gaining control over European carrier, failing in tenders for stakes in Alitalia, the Serb carrier JAT and the Czech carrier CSA.
Aeroflot may, however, have found a new way to get closer to European airlines in the form of a JV with the Turkish carrier THY, aired during the recent visit of turkey's prime minister to Russia.
No further details of the visions behind the JV have yet been published, but as a first step a new carrier could be set up on the shared investments, to launch traffic between Russia and Turkey.
