Alliances continue to dominate
Airlines which are members of a global alliance now dominate most traffic areas, commanding ca. 60% of global traffic flows with the remainder split between low cost carriers, hybrids and other unaligned full service carriers.
However with major markets such as Russia, Africa, Canada, Australia and South America still lacking at least one if not two alliance members to provide home market access, the alliance story remains one with further potential for development. India provides significant potential with none of the alliances having a home market member and with major Gulf carriers dominating international traffic flows.
Any airline partnership, whether codeshare, global alliance or even joint ventures, will be following 4 phases in its development:
We assist airlines to identify the best-fit partnership approach, bilateral or alliance membership, and to maximize their potential from the partnership.
We bring experience from having worked with airlines in an alliance and with extensive bilateral partnership and with the global airline alliance management organizations.
If an alliance is not right for your airline, you may benefit from bi-lateral partnerships or from joint ventures.
