Etihad and Tui cancel merger talks

Talks between German holiday firm Tui and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad to merge their budget carriers TUIfly and Niki "to form a strong European leisure airline" have folded. Tui says it now will look for another partner. Etihad is considering its own airline investments after investing in a number of airlines - including the recently-failed Alitalia - under previous ceo James Hogan.
