The airline was nationalised and merged into Indian Airlines in 1953.

It gave no timetable for the mergers or which airline would merge with which.

The biggest airlines have either merged, are trying to do so or are forming alliances.

The airline merged with Air Wisconsin in 1985 and thus lost its previous identity.

Although the two companies say that the agreement is simply a business partnership, industry experts expect the airlines to merge eventually.

When airlines merge, workers have to reschedule their shifts, routes and vacation time.

The airline officially merged into Air India on 27 February 2011.

The base has remained since the airline merged with Vueling.

When the airline merged with Pan American in 1950 he became vice president of its Atlantic division.

In 2005 the airline merged with "Sky Services nv".
