Speculation over Sir Richard Branson's control of Virgin Atlantic grew today after Singapore Airlines confirmed it was in talks over the sale of its stake in the transatlantic airline.
America's largest airline, Delta, is believed to have approached Singapore Airlines about buying its 49% stake, with Singapore confirming today that it is talking to "interested parties".
If Delta succeeds, it has been reported that European partner Air France-KLM may then buy part of Sir Richard's 51% stake, leaving the entrepreneur without majority control of the airline.
