US airlines Delta and Northwest have resumed discussions

over a possible merger. Initially started in January, the talks were interrupted in March due to a lack of agreement with the two groups’ pilot unions. Citing unnamed sources at Air France-KLM, La Tribune reports that Delta and Northwest would study a similar merger project to that of Air France and KLM. Should this merger be finalised, the French-Dutch airline would need to invest less than the initially proposed $ 750M in the new entity because fewer synergies would be created and restructuring needs would be lower.
