Corporate indigestion is as unpleasant as too many mince pies on Christmas day. So Monday’s denial by Air France-KLM of talks to buy more shares in Italy’s Alitalia – where it has held a 25 per cent stake since 2009 – should be welcomed. The Franco-Dutch carrier has plenty on its plate as it tries to stabilise finances and cut unit costs and fleet. Admittedly, there could be extra synergies from a tighter tie-up with the Italian airline medium-term. But now is not the moment to take on more politically sensitive downsizing in another recession-hit country.
企业消化不良就跟圣诞节吃多了百果馅饼一样不舒服。因此，法航荷航集团(Air France-KLM)周一否认其正在谈判增持意大利航空公司(Alitalia)股票，这应当受到欢迎。该集团自2009年以来持有意大利航空25%的股份。这家法荷运营商手头的事已经够多了，它正试图稳定财务状况、削减单位成本和机队。不可否认，从中期来看，与意大利航空形成更紧密的联合会有额外的协同效益。但现在还不是在另一个受manbetx20客户端下载 衰退打击的国家进行更多政治敏感的精简的时候。
