One World Government – One World Airline

OK so depending upon your point of view we are either heading towards a one world government or we are already under one (assuming you don’t accept the conspiracy stories told by the main stream press that such a thing is silly talk). With a one world system, competition is becoming a thing of  the past and our world is becoming controlled by fewer and fewer people being no different to banking, media, farming, military, health, and so on – airlines are also and have been following suit.

This week we see yet another planned merger:-

Aug2010               Brazilian airline TAM plans to merge with Chile’s LAN

The point is that this is not new. Mindset even commented on how the number of European airlines are decreasing, especially noticeable from the talks that surrounded the Ash that disrupted flights recently. There have been times when plans have been blocked (or is that ‘postponed’?). Such as back in 1999.

Nov1999         The Company File Canadian airline merger blocked

However the overall trend is/has been one of mergers and acquisitions, but perhaps the alarming thing is the rate and size of mergers seems to be increasing. Of course as these events are staggered, most people simply never see the larger picture at all. For example:-

May2010         United and Continental Airlines to merge

Apr2010          British Airways and Iberia sign merger agreement

Feb2007          India state airlines set to merge

June2003         African airlines urged to merge
