KLM TO TAKE 15 PCT STAKE IN AIR UK KLM Royal Dutch Airlines <KLM.A> said it agreed to take a 15 pct stake in Air U.K. Ltd, a subsidiary of British and Commonwealth Shipping Plc <BCOM.L>, in a transaction worth around two mln stg. A KLM spokesman said KLM already cooperated closely with Air UK, which runs 111 flights a week to Amsterdam's Schipol airport from nine UK cities. British and Commonwealth Shipping said last week it held preliminary talks about a KLM minority stake in Air U.K. But gave no further details. KLM said it hoped the move would attract more British feeder traffic to Amsterdam Airport.
