Alliances analysis - the next step
The challenges ahead for the alliances are regulatory rather than geographical as they seek wide antitrust immunity for their transatlantic networks
The Airline Business alliance survey provides a snapshot of the current state of co-operation deals between the world's main carriers. The survey focuses on those mainline scheduled carriers that appear in the top 200 traffic ranking. Links that only extend to a frequent-flyer programme (FFP) are not included. Membership of the main global alliances - oneworld, SkyTeam and Star - are indicated to the right of the name bar and have not been included in their own right in the listing unless a specific bilateral exists. Data for the listing was compiled by Antonio Panariello from Flight Insight.

The codeshare partners for full members of the three global alliances, oneworld, SkyTeam and Star Alliance. Codeshare partners for major non-aligned carriers are also listed.
Alliances and low-cost carriers: never say never
Low-cost carriers are starting to warm to the idea of codeshares just as their technology providers are making it easier for them to link up with others
Alliance interlining: size matters
Some smaller carriers are lagging behind in the migration to interline e-ticketing. Are they at a disadvantage compared with larger airlines or do they just need to fight harder to keep their interline partners?
