Delta Air Lines said it will buy almost half of Virgin Atlantic for $360 million as it tries to catch up to rivals in the lucrative New York-to-London travel market.

British Airways cabin crews walked off the job for a second day Sunday but the airline insisted the strike was having less impact than expected and said it was able to restore flights that had previously been canceled.

European Union regulators said Friday they have warned British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia that their plans to share more of their lucrative trans-Atlantic routes may break antitrust rules.

An expanded marketing alliance Delta Air Lines Inc. has signed with Alaska Air Group Inc. will help supply passengers for new international routes Delta plans to launch next year, the carriers said Monday.

Germany's biggest airline, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, said Thursday it is paying $300 million for a 19 percent stake in JetBlue Airways Corp., whose stock has lost about half its value since an operational meltdown last Valentine's Day.

The latest jetliner to claim the title of world's biggest passenger aircraft completed its maiden voyage to America on Monday, flying on football field-length wings and a prayer that the U.S. airline industry will want to buy the double-decker jumbo jet.

It may trail the historic impact of Charles Lindbergh's 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic, but the Spirit of St. Louis also did not have a wingspan wider than a football field or space for more than 500 passengers.
