Governing Board Plans for 2005 - The SkyTeam Governing Board, comprised of the senior-most executives at the nine member airlines, met in Tucson, Arizona on November 4 to set the alliance's direction for 2005 and beyond.

To further strengthen the alliance's strategic position, the executives focused on ways to enhance the working relationship of members, including SkyTeam's governance model and joining requirements, as well as opportunities for additional synergies. Details regarding the status and implementation of these initiatives will be announced soon.
