AIR FRANCE-KLM COMPLETES THE ACQUISITION OF A 25% STAKE IN ALITALIA


Following Air France-KLM's announcement on 12 January 2009 and the approval of the competition authorities, the Air France-KLM Group has today completed its acquisition of a 25% stake in Alitalia through the subscription to a reserved capital increase for an amount of some €323 million.

This strenghtened partnership cemented by Air France-KLM's minority stake in Alitalia gives Air France-KLM greater access to the Italian market thanks to Alitalia which, following its acquisition of Air One, has reinforced its position on the domestic market.
