A spokeswoman for Air France said that it "is still in negotiations with Delta, but nothing has been finalized". She also said that "the agreement being negotiated should be signed in the autumn."
The joint venture would happen in two stages - the first would start in April 2008 and include New York - Paris flights, as well as flights from Heathrow airport in London to cities in the US. In 2010, the second stage would cover the rest of Air France and Delta's trans-Atlantic flights. Les Echos reports that both airlines would split their profits from their main trans-Atlantic routes 50-50.
Air France-KLM, Northwest, and Delta have also applied for a joint venture agreement. Northwest and KLM have been close partners for more than 15 years, and this venture, if successful, will bring the four much closer together than they already are (all are SkyTeam members).

OH PLEASE DELTA GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Air France is one of the worst companies I ever dealt with. I got stuck in Paris during the last strike in October. I had to take the train to London, spend the night and buy a Delta ticket the next day to get back to LA. They reimbursed me $37.00 of almost $2,000 that I spent. THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL CUSTOMER SERVICE AIR FRANCE STYLE!!!
