Talk:Airline alliance

List of Airlines
Why remove the LCCs? Surely Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue are relevant. Kitplane01 (talk) 05:51, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Airline alliance
Can anyone suggest where these market share numbers come from. It should be cited.

Kitplane01 (talk) 06:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I removed this paragraph, as it contradicts not only the previous paragraph, but also the data in the table, where "market share" and "Passengers per year" are very closely proportional.


 * Note: market share and number of passengers are quite unrelated. Long haul international flights are much more profitable than shorter national flights (where competition often is even stronger). Freight transport is also a major contributor to profits.

Can someone explain the difference between South America and Latin America as both referred to in the `Oneworld` table as weakness and strength respectively.--Evomutant 16:00, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how to do it, but could someone please add Australia domestic as a weakness for Star Alliance. Air NZ, Singapore Airlines, and Thai connect to most Australian cities for International flights, but there is no Star Alliance domestic service since the collapse of Ansett Australia in 2001.

Hi, just visited this page a saw that Aer Lingus was missing from the OneWorld listing - so I popped it in there. Kind regards, --pconlon 12:46, 14 Jan 2008 (UTC)

The Table
The table of Information, showing who is a member of what alliance and what they serve is WRONG. it says India is fine with Skyteam flights with Continental (a few flights from Newark) and KLM flights, even though other Skyteam airlines fly there and it is a weakness for oneworld who would have a similar number of flights.

Continental is also leaving Skyteam after this year to join One World. It's been publicized in the newspapers in Detroit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.61.35.36 (talk) 23:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

WHERE DOES THE DATA IN THE TABLE FOR "REST OF INDUSTRY" come from. What is market share based on??? Please source and put a note explaining —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.149.31.230 (talk) 16:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It comes from subtracting 100% from the numbers of the three major alliances.
 * Kitplane01 (talk) 03:52, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

On what basis are the airlines under "Rest of Industry" selected? - Someone just added WestJet, and I am wondering whether there is a justification for this, or should everyone simply add their favourite airline? --SmilingBoy (talk) 22:57, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like everyone is just adding their own preferred airline(s), since I just had to add Southwest to that. A list of some 20-30 major airlines not belonging to the major alliances and the largest such airline in the United States was missing... --96.32.133.130 (talk) 03:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

US - American Merger
Following the merger of US Airways and American Airlines, US Airways will move to One World

Air India - Star Alliance
Please do not put Air India as a current member. The airline will officially join Star Alliance on 11 July 2014 according to official press releases. The airline only had its membership approved by the alliance on June 24, 2014. Also, Star Alliance's website does not list Air India as a member airline according to http://www.staralliance.com/en/about/member_airlines/ yet (not until 11 July). So therefore, it is a still a future member joining on 11 July 2014. 68.119.73.36 (talk) 03:45, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

"Airlines not in any alliances" section suppression
This list will always be incomplete : with 1,402 airlines in the world and airlines in alliances, there is  airlines off alliances. So, I propose to suppress this section.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 12:20, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
