Post by: casper on January 03, 2007, 11:50:50 AM
EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic on Wednesday denied media reports which said they might take part in a global low-cost alliance with Malaysian carrier AirAsia Bhd or its owners.

"We are not joining any alliance," easyJet spokesman Toby Nicol said.

"The whole low-cost airline business model is based on simplicity," he added, noting alliances with other airlines involve costs and complications.
