more about Star Alliance benefits About star alliance In 1997, a group of five world-class airlines
got together to create something never seen before
&endash; an alliance that brought together
networks, lounge access, check-in services,
ticketing and dozens of other services to improve
the travel experience for customers and
efficiencies for the carriers. They called it the
Star Alliance network . After EgyptAir joined in
July 2008 the alliance grew to 21 members and 3
regional members , with Air India confirmed as
future member carrier. A large network of carriers
means more choices for customers. Our alliance
members fly to more destinations than the
competition. And that equates to easier travel and
quicker connections. The main goal has always been
to make the travel experience smoother for
customers. That means doing things such as locating
the member carriers closer together in airports,
introducing new technologies, building common
facilities at airports, coordinating schedules and
installing connection teams for faster transfers of
passengers and baggage. A multitude of other
initiatives has been implemented and more are in
the works. The brand &endash; including the
familiar star-shaped logo &endash; represents the
promise that the alliance strives to deliver, and
it lets the customer know that wherever they are in
the world, the alliance is there to help them enjoy
a smooth travel experience. Star Alliance received
the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award in
2008 and was voted Best Airline Alliance by
Business Traveller Magazine in 2003, 2006 and 2007
and by Skytrax in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Star Alliance Member Airlines Air Canada , Air China , Air New Zealand , ANA ,
