SAS Officially Joins SkyTeam Scandinavian carrier SAS has officially joined the SkyTeam global airline alliance today, thus marking a new era for the airline and the alliance. Though SAS was a founding member of Star Alliance, the airline had previously stated that at Star Alliance, there were no opportunities for deeper integration or initiating a joint venture with fellow alliance members, which is something SkyTeam members have done exceptionally well in the past. Additionally, until recently, the carrier was under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which SAS used to restructure and better position itself, both operationally and financially. Though the airline could not raise equity with any Star Alliance members, 19.9% of shares were acquired by Air France-KLM Group, after which a move to SkyTeam was predictable.

Juneyao Airlines Reports Toddler Was Locked In Lav By Passengers With Grandmother's Consent While having a crying child or toddler onboard an aircraft does not make the best in-flight experience for other passengers onboard, and the best anyone can do is to try and calm the young passenger down, distract them, or make them feel more comfortable. However, two women onboard the Chinese carrier Juneyao Airlines , flying from Guiyang to Shanghai, took a very different approach to handling a crying toddler. The incident occurred on August 24th, as reported by The Guardian, where a crying toddler was locked in the aircraft's lavatory by two women in order to not disturb other passengers onboard and for the young flier to be "educated".
