    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2008 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Before Alliances, there was Pan American World Airways . and Trans World Airlines. Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

Hearing is on October 5, 2020, at 10AM ET. • Proposed $2 billion DIP financing will provide $1.2 billion in new liquidity, along with a roll-up of about $722 million of prepetition debt. • The facility will be split into a senior tranche A and a junior tranche B, each secured by the same pool of collateral (all asset grant) with tranche B subordinated in right of repayment to tranche A. – The collateral pool for the proposed DIP financing was recently substantially increased via Avianca’s acquisition of LifeMiles stocks using the funds from the DIP financing. • Bloomberg reported that Avianca is offering one of the highest premiums yet seen on a $1.3 billion DIP loan. • The Administrative Court of Cundinamarca issued an injunction blocking the Colombian government disaster fund’s participation of up to $370 million in (or 20% of) Avianca's DIP financing. Avianca appealed the decision. 4 DIP Financing Update: LATAM • Latam’s bankruptcy has included significant litigation over its initial DIP financing proposal.

  • AVIANCA HOSTS STAR ALLIANCE CHIEF EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING Implementation of Alliance's Digital Strategy Continues Bogota, Colo
    AVIANCA HOSTS STAR ALLIANCE CHIEF EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING Implementation of Alliance’s Digital Strategy continues Bogota, Colombia – December 17th, 2018 – Star Alliance member carrier Avianca recently hosted the Star Alliance Chief Executive Board meeting (CEB) in the Colombian capital using the occasion also to begin celebrating its 100th anniversary year, underlining its position as the oldest airline in the Americas and the second oldest airline in the world. On behalf of Avianca, CEO and Executive President Hernan Rincon said: “It was an honour for Avianca to host the Star Alliance CEB meeting in Colombia. With passenger numbers in Latin America expected to double in the next decade, the presence of the top executives of the 28 airlines served as an important reminder to the governments in this region of the continued need to invest in infrastructure to support this development. As a Star Alliance member carrier, Avianca is playing its role by connecting the region with the global airline network". During the meeting, the CEB endorsed the business plan for 2019 which was presented by Star Alliance CEO Jeffrey Goh. This foresees the continuation of the Alliance’s strategic shift from membership growth to improving the seamless travel experience, with a special focus on those customers who fly on multi-carrier journeys. The CEB noted the progress in the development of digital capabilities using the Digital Services Platform (DSP) including advanced seat selection which was enabled earlier in the year for United customers to select seats on Singapore Airlines flights booked via United’s online sales channels. This functionality is set to be progressively expanded to other Star Alliance member carriers.
