it would be nice to 2 merge airlines into one. Just transfering all assets, aircraft staff and settings for cabins, and all. this would be easy to do.
Also if you have all the stock of an airline in the holding. The Holding should be able to to take the airline off the market as you already own 100%. This is also true in the real world

Stock de listing had been suggested multiple times but I believe Martin said that in the current form of stock market no new modification to it will be done. But yeah it would be great if you could de list.
About merging that’s a bit more complicated because of flight numbers. But transferring the leases to another company within holding would be great, I suggested it some time back but I think it’s not likely to be offered.
Yes delisting is and won't be available cause afraid of cheating.
Suggestion: You found new airline and transfer all plane & flight-routes to new airline. Sorry for shareholder, they will lose lots of money. That is not your fault or problem, AS-team is responsible for it! :)
As for merging, flight numbers is easy, you just add one more number to the total. so the new merged airline would be 1xxxx as a flight number. As for cheating because its of the stock market that makes no sence. How can i cheat if i have 100% of the stock and just fold this into my holding. The equity is already mine.
The transfer of aircraft is easy too.
As the sugjestion of Ferias, i would oppose to this structure as this would make stock investors mad and rightly so.
So Martin, take a look at things in the bigger picture specially in older worlds where there are many airlines that could merge there fleets. Again if you have airlines in different countries you would need to choose the legal country. You cant own 2 airlines in different countries, (Or they need to be in a common space like the EU, look at Transavia, with airlines in Denmark, France, Germany and Netherlands all owned by the AF/KLM groupe)
Merger may be a little difficult, but I do strongly support delist a 100% or nearly 100% owned (compulsory buyout) listing subsidiary. This shouldn't have any problem of cheating as two airlines are within same holding.

Yes, I think if someone keeps 90% or 95% shares, he can perform force-delisting.
Not possible under current stock market rules. Operator is able to manipulate stock prices by grounding all flights, force other shareholders to sell stocks to achieve 95%, and then de-list.
