An Asian carrier taking over VAH is pretty doubtful due to anti-trust concerns and FIRB.

In terms of mainland P.R.c, recent market TO bid rumors from the P.R.C. Xuwai, JD and Sina Weibo previously had ideas of Mengniu or Dairy Crest Group for AHF, and Yili Group for A2M but then Kirin/ Lion Nathan went after it in the Courts to scotch the rumor.

If you read the blogs about 60-70 stocks in the ASX, perhaps even more had had some rumor made about them and I am in half of them and so far none of them happened. Fairfax Financial took over Tower with a 40% premium which was not even seen and not close to what the FXJ said at the time in that Allianz was taking over QBE, FXJ TO bid by a PEG, KKR for Tatts Group formerly they were after Woolworths, Bechtel for LLC, SUN or IAG for NHF, Total for STO, COP/ EIG for SXY, US Steel for BSL, Babcock International for DOW, DOW for Spotless, Cameco for ERA, Henderson Group for PTM, BTT for PAC, Kinder Morgan for APA, Randgold/ Anglo American for SBM, Bayer/ BTG/ Merck for SRX, Ladbrokes for TAH, MGM Resorts for SGR, Compass for GEM, SGX/ Deutsche Borse 4 ASX (SGX has already been rejected by Gov't), GLEN for BHP, there are a few I have missed for sure.

VAH takeover tips/ rumors/ history is just about over IMHO but pls DYOR. There is always a chance of more cornerstones to replace AIZ beyond Etihad and Singapore Airlines.
