Da var det bestemt...kanskje dette er det som skulle til for at AZUL tar opp ønsket om å bli en del av *A?

The Portuguese government has officially selected Gateway, a joint-venture between jetBlue Airways (B6, New York JFK) and Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras (AD, Campinas Viracopos) founder David Neeleman and Portuguese bus company Barraqueiro Group, to acquire a 61% stake in the country's national carrier, TAP Portugal (TP, Lisbon).

Secretary of the Treasury, Isabel Castelo Branco, told a press conference in Lisbon on Thursday that the sale should generate between EUR354 million (USD488 million) and EUR488 million (USD548.5 million) for the country's coffers depending on the carrier's performance.

Branco went on to explain that the transaction's full value will only be realized in two years time adding that the current valuation is based on market capitalization, share price, and buy/sell stock options.
