Over ten billion euros have already flowed into the listed Air France-KLM merger. But more is needed. Negotiations about this are not really getting going. 

Talks between the French and Dutch governments about further financial aid for Air France-KLM are slow. And that since last year. Because the government representatives have been grappling with it since November. So far without any success. Another six billion euros are under discussion, reports the Aero. It could be because both sides are not seeking a joint solution. Rather, people are only looking at themselves. The Dutch would want to put their money straight into KLM and leave Air France outside. Also from the French side recently nationalist tones rang out to the public: “Air France-KLM is not a real group, they share a few branches of their operation and the Dutch have a lot of power”, said the State Secretary in the French Ministry of Transport Jean-Baptiste Djebbari in October. "The question arises of what we should do and whether we should do it together."
