History

19971999: First alliance

On 14 May 1997, an agreement was announced forming Star Alliance from five airlines on three continents: Scandinavian Airlines, Thai Airways
International, Air Canada, Lufthansa, and United Airlines.[8][9] The alliance chose Young & Rubicam for advertising, with a budget of $25 million
(18 million).[10] The airlines shared the star logo from the beginning, with its five points representing the founding airlines. The alliance adopted its
first slogan, "The Airline Network for Earth",[8] with its goal "an alliance that will take passengers to every major city on earth".

Additions
 The now defunct Brazilian airline VARIG joined the Star Alliance network[8][11] on 22 October 1997,
extending the alliance into South America. Also joining were Ansett Australia and Air New Zealand,
expanding Star Alliance to Australia and the Pacific.[12] With the addition of the latter two carriers, the
alliance served 720 destinations in 110 countries with a combined fleet of 1,650 aircraft. The next
airline to join was All Nippon Airways (ANA), the group's second Asian airline, on 15 October
1999.[13][14]

During the early 2000s, a number of airlines joined Star Alliance; the Austrian Airlines Group
(Austrian Airlines, Tyrolean Airways and Lauda Air)
joined on 26 March 2000[15][16] and Singapore
Airlines on 1 April.[17] BMI (British Midland) and
Mexicana Airlines joined on 1 July, bringing the
alliance's membership to 13.[18] The addition of BMI
made London Heathrow the only European hub with
two alliances. During the year, Emirates considered
joining Star Alliance, but decided against it.[19] That
year the now-defunct BWIA West Indies Airways,

centers (in Los Angeles, Frankfurt, and Bangkok) and
announced the formation of an Alliance Management
Team (AMT), the partnership's executive body.[21] In September 2001, Ansett Australia (the alliance's
only Australian member) left Star Alliance due to bankruptcy, giving most of the Australian market to
Qantas (a Oneworld member). That year, Star Alliance announced the appointment of a new CEO, Jaan
Albrecht.[21]

Asiana Airlines joined the alliance on 1 March 2003,[22] Spanair on 1 May,[23] and LOT Polish First Star Alliance logo, still in use
Airlines (Poland's flag carrier) in October.[24] Around this time, Mexicana Airlines left the alliance today
after deciding not to renew a codeshare agreement with United Airlines, later joining Oneworld.[21] US
Airways joined the alliance in May 2004,[25] becoming its second US-based airline. In November
[26]
Adria Airways, Blue1 and Croatia Airlines joined the alliance as its first three regional members.

Although Star Alliance invited Lineas Aereas Azteca in 2005 to join in mid-2007, the airline filed for
bankruptcy. TAP Air Portugal joined on 14 March 2005, adding African destinations to the
network.[27][28] In April 2006 Swiss International Air Lines, the alliance's sixth European airline, and
[29]
South African Airways(its first African carrier) became the 17th and 18th members.

By May 2007, Star Alliance's 10th anniversary, its members had a combined 16,000 daily departures to
855 destinations in 155 countries and served 406 million passengers annually. The alliance introduced
Biosphere Connections, a partnership with UNESCO, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Ramsar Convention On
.[30][31]
Wetlands to promote environmental sustainability

Today, nearly 30% of global air travellers use the services of our member carriers or, looking at it from an overall industry perspective, two
thirds of worldwide air travellers use one of the three airline alliances.

Jaan Albrecht, former Star Alliance CEO[32]

VARIG left the alliance on 31 January 2007,[33] and the two Chinese airlines,Air China and Shanghai Airlines joined on 12 December.[34]

20082010: Second decade of operations

On 1 April 2008, Turkish Airlines joined the alliance after a 15-month integration process beginning in December 2006, becoming its seventh European
airline[35] and 20th member. EgyptAir, Egypt's national airline and Star Alliance's second African carrier
, joined on 11 July 2008.[36]
 On 27 October 2009, Continental Airlines became the
25th member of Star Alliance after leaving SkyTeam
three days earlier. According to alliance CEO Jaan
Albrecht, "Bringing Continental Airlines into Star
Alliance has been a truly unique experience. This is
the first time an airline has moved directly from one
alliance to another and I would like to thank all those
involved in ensuring a smooth switch". At the time, it
Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800 in Aegean Airlines joined Star Alliance
was rumored that the switch was Continental's first
star Alliance livery in 2010
move in a planned United Airlines-Continental
merge.[37] Two months later, Brussels Airlines joined
the alliance.[38]

Brazilian carrier TAM Airlines joined Star Alliance on 13 May 2010,[39] increasing its foothold in South America.[40] Aegean Airlines, Greece's largest
[41]
airline by number of passengers, joined on 30 June.

Shanghai Airlines left the alliance on 31 October 2010 when it merged with China Eastern Airlines, a SkyTeam member.[42] On 29 September, the chief
executive board approvedEthiopian Airlines as Star Alliance's 30th member.[43] In 2010 the alliance flew to 1,172 airports in 181 countries, with about
21,200 daily departures.[43]

2011-present: Further expansion and Stability

Since 2011, the alliance has gained several large members but has lost others due to collapse or
mergers. In August 2011, after several delays, Air India was rejected for membership, although it
would eventually re-apply.[44][45] On 13 December 2011, Ethiopian Airlines joined, adding five
[46]
countries and 24 destinations to the alliance's map.

Star Alliance saw a tumultuous 2012-13, starting with two key departures but ending with a major
move into Latin America. In Europe, Spanair ceased operations, and BMI left after being acquired by
International Airlines Group (IAG), the parent company of Oneworld members Iberia and British
Airways.[47][48] In North America, Continental merged with United Airlines, reducing Star's Air India Boeing 787 in Star alliance
Livery
membership further, even if it effectively stayed in the alliance after the merger.[49] On 21 June,
though, Avianca, TACA Airlines and Copa Airlines joined, massively increasing the alliance's Latin
American presence.[50] In November, Blue1 left after becoming an affiliate of parent Scandinavian Airlines.[51] and Shenzhen Airlines joined,
augmenting Air China's Chinese network.[52] Taiwanese carrier EVA Air then joined on 18 June 2013, and after TACA's integration into Avianca, the
alliance grew to 28 members, making it the largest of the three major airline alliances.[53][54] On 13 December, Air India was again invited to begin an
integration process with Star Alliance.[55]

Following this string of expansions, 2014 opened with two major departures through mergers. First, Brazilian carrier TAM Airlines merged with LAN
Airlines to become LATAM Airlines Group, leaving the alliance without a presence in the world's fifth-largest country.[56] Next, US Airways completed
its merger with American Airlines and also left the alliance.[57] Both parent companies stayed with Oneworld. On 24 June, though, the alliance finally
approved Air India which joined on 11 July, leaving the alliance at 27 members, where it stands today.[58][59][60][61]

Future expansion centers around the addition of Connecting Partners, subsidiaries or partners of alliance members which will add connectivity to the
alliance without becoming full members. Avianca Brazil joined in this way on 22 July 2015, bringing the alliance back into the Brazilian market
partially filling the void left by TAM.[62] South African Airways' low-cost subsidiary, Mango, was initially announced to join as a Connecting Partner in
Q3 2016[63] but has since been delayed. Juneyao Airlines, which codeshares with Shenzhen Airlines, joined as a Connecting Partner on 23 May 2017.

Customer service
Codeshare flights of Star Alliance airlines are consistent. This cooperation led to suspicions of anti-competitive behavior; the alliance was suspected by
the European Union of being a virtual merger of its members, and speculation existed that if government regulations were relaxed the members would
merge into one corporation.[94]

Star Alliance developed a "regional" concept in 2004, which helped it penetrate markets with participation by smaller regional carriers. Regional Star
Alliance members had to be sponsored by an alliance member. The alliance no longer designates airlines as "regional" members, now referring to its 27
airlines as "members".[95]

In 2007, alliance members flew 18,521 daily flights to 1,321 airports in 193 countries with a fleet of 4,025 aircraft. Its members carried a total of
627.52 million passengers, with revenue of US$156.8 billion (145 billion). It had 28 percent of the global market based on revenue passenger
kilometers (RPK), greater than the combined market share of all airlines not in one of the three major alliances. All alliance carriers combined employed
over 405,000 pilots, flight attendants, and other staff. Star Alliance was voted best airline alliance in the Skytrax 2007 World Airline Awards.[96]

Premiums
Star Alliance has two premium levels (Silver and Gold), based on a customer's status in a member's frequent-flyer program. Member and regional
airlines recognize Star Silver and Gold status, with a few exceptions mostly pertaining to airport lounge access. Membership is based on the frequent-
flyer programs of the individual airlines. Many members have a premium status beyond Gold, which is not recognized across the alliance.

Star Alliance Silver

Star Alliance Silver status is given to customers who have reached a premium level of a member carrier's frequent-flyer program. Benefits are priority
reservation wait-listing and airport stand-by. Some airlines also offer priority airport check-in, baggage handling and boarding; preferred seating; an
additional checked-luggage allowance, and waived fees for two checked bags.

Star Alliance Gold

Star Alliance Gold status is given to customers who have reached a higher level of a member airline's frequent-flyer program. Benefits are priority
reservations wait-listing, airport stand-by and check-in and baggage handling; an additional checked luggage allowance of 20 kg (or one extra piece,
where the piece rule applies), and access to designated Star Alliance Gold lounges the day and place of departure with the presentation of a Star Alliance
boarding pass. Some airlines also offer preferred seating (an exit seat or a special section of the plane); guaranteed seating on fully booked flights,
subject to the booking class code and notice period, and free upgrades in the form of a voucher, certificate or automatic upgrade at check-in. United
restricts US lounge access for their Gold Members to long-haul international passengers; Gold members from other carriers are welcome in US lounges
run by United on all itineraries.

Livery and logo

Some Star Alliance members paint some of their aircraft with the alliance livery, usually a white fuselage with "Star Alliance" across it and a black tail
fin with the alliance logo; the color or design of the engine cowlings or winglets remains, depending on the member's livery. Singapore Airlines is the
only exception, formerly keeping its own logo on the tails of its aircraft but now using the Star Alliance logo on white tails. Asiana Airlines was the first
 .[104] Aircraft painted in an airline's regular livery have the Star Alliance logo
Star Alliance member to paint its aircraft in the current Star Alliance livery
between the cockpit and the first set of cabin doors.
