  • Airline Alliances
    What Are the 3 Major Airline Alliances? Birthed from codeshare agreements between carriers, airline alliances went big time in the late 1990s with the formation of the three leading partnerships we have today: StarAlliance, SkyTeam, and Oneworld. These alliances have rapidly grown to incorporate nearly every major airline on earth. The goal of these coalitions is to provide travelers with access to more destinations, streamlined connections, and competitive pricing due to smaller operational costs. Of course, this has some benefits on the airlines' bottom line, by cutting down on overlapping operations in shared markets and by funneling travelers through partners instead of a competitor's plane. To get you up to speed on the ever-changing world of airline partnerships, here's some background info on the three major alliances, including frequent flyer benefits, and current member airlines to help you choose which alliance is best for your travel needs. Star Alliance Founded by five airlines, United, Scandinavian, Thai, Air Canada, and Lufthansa (thus the five-point star logo), StarAlliance was the first major global airline alliance to takeoff in 1997. Originally promising to “take passengers to every major city on earth,” the airline has done its best to back up that mission statement with its industry-leading roster of 26 member airlines. Close to home, United, Air Canada, and Copa Airlines' networks cover hundreds of destinations in the Americas and the Caribbean; while StarAlliance’s remaining 23 partners have just about every corner of the globe dotted within their flight network. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a destination that the StarAlliance doesn’t service with its nearly 19,000 daily flights to over 1,300 destinations in 195 countries worldwide.
