Virgin Atlantic has dismissed a newspaper report that claims it is interested in a tie-up with Lufthansa should the German airline go ahead with a takeover of bmi, TTG reports.
The report in City AM suggested that Virgin would be interested in a link-up, with chairman Sir Richard Branson retaining a 51% stake. But Virgin communications director Paul Charles described the story as spurious, adding: ˇ®We talk to a lot of people all the time. There is nothing concrete behind this report.' |
