Correction | News articles published last week and yesterday referring to the Dutch government’s taking of a 12.68% stake in the Air France-KLM Group incorrectly stated this was a doubling of an existing investment. The Dutch government’s stake in the group was a new investment; until February it held a small stake only in KLM. The articles have been corrected on our website. We apologize for the error.
