German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE) is in talks with SAS AB (SAS.SK) over the Scandinavian carrier's 20% stake in British Midland Airways, known as bmi, Chief Financial Officer Stephan Gemkow said Thursday.

In a conference call to journalists, Gemkow added, however, that no decision has yet been made in the talks with SAS.

Lufthansa recently raised its stake in bmi, which has over 11% of all take-off and landing rights at London Heathrow, Europe's largest airport, to 80%.
