INTERNATIONAL -- EUROPEAN BUSINESS Mergers in Europe's Airlines? Possible Predators... BRITISH AIRWAYS Dominates Heathrow and is eager to forge a Continental alliance with KLM or another carrier if that fails. LUFTHANSA Restructured giant commands German skies. May take over its current allies, SAS and Austrian Airlines. SWISSAIR Surprisingly aggressive. Has acquired control of Sabena. ...And Prey ALITALIA Needs an alliance, but it's unclear if anyone can leap the political and bureaucratic hurdles. AIR FRANCE A giant, but it still needs to improve profits and free itself from state interference. IBERIA Much improved, but may not have the critical mass to make it alone.
