Longhitter, you say you're from planet earth, but I disagree.
Allow me to inform you that Air France-KLM Group is exactly that, a Group.
It is a Group, similarly how IAG is a Group. AF and KLM both operate with their own subsidiaries - it's like saying Lufthansa Group can't sell Brussels Airlines because it's all part of the same Group.
Pardon me for emphasizing group, but it needed to be.
