NEW YORK (Reuters) - Air France-KLM <AIRF.PA> is in talks with Japan Airlines <9205.T> to form an alliance in which the European company would inject a few hundred million dollars and take a minority stake in the struggling carrier, a source familiar with the matter said.
Air France-KLM, Delta Air Lines <DAL.N> and American Airlines <AMR.N> are in separate 'early stage' talks with Japan Airlines, said the source, who declined to be identified because the talks have not been made public.
The carriers are discussing an investment of $200 million to $300 million each, in exchange for a minority stake and a code-sharing relationship, but talks are fluid and the numbers could change every day, the source said.
