(MENAFN) Skymark Airlines said it was considering asking for help from domestic giant All Nippon Airways even while eyeing a tie-up with ANA's rival Japan Airlines (JAL), Oman Observer reported.
The Japanese budget carrier could ask for code-sharing as the main pillar of that help as is the case with ongoing talks with JAL, as Skymark spokesman said "we are considering asking for assistance".
The cargo is forecasting a net loss of USD114 million for the year to March. The airline was also sideswiped when Airbus cancelled a USD2.2 billion jet order in July, over concerns it would not get paid.
Skymark has struggled to offer the kind of heavily discounted prices of overseas no-frills carriers due to high operating costs, and has suffered from the plethora of new entrants into the sector.
