OneWorld Alliance
I have read some of the comments about Oneword and the alliances. I mostly use Star as it just has a bigger scale of coverage worldwide. However, I do like many of the OneWorld carriers.
The whole wave of consolidation that is going on and being talked about is bound to have implications for the alliances long term. THe possible ties up in the states between that major carriers will see some movement between carriers. What does anyone think?
AirNewZealand has been pressing for a tie up with Qantas, although unlikely to happen this could see one or other of them jumps top the other alliance?
There are so many big carriers left outside of the alliances, eg Emirates. It will be interesting to see what the future make up will be. I think long term there will be 2 alliances . I think many carriers may follow Aer Lingus's lead and come out of the alliances and make independent arrangements with there preferred airlines.
But its hard to know....
