Airline Alliances

Airline alliances are partnerships between multiple airlines that provide seamless travel experiences to passengers through shared mileage programs, code-share flights, and lounge access. There are three major global alliances: Star Alliance, oneworld, and SkyTeam, each with distinct characteristics and networks. These alliances significantly contribute to the efficiency of global air transportation networks and improved customer convenience.
