Alaska Airlines joins Oneworld alliance
Alaska Airlines officially became the 14th member of the Oneworld aviation alliance on 31 March. The Seattle-based airline says its customers can now enjoy the full benefits of the global alliance, letting them seamlessly travel to 1,000 destinations in 170 countries. “It’s the best time to join an alliance”, says Alaska CE Ben Minicucci, calling the milestone a “pivotal moment” in the airline’s history. Oneworld CE Rob Gurney adds that as the industry rebuilds from the coronavirus crisis, alliances will become more valuable. “All of our member-airline CEOs have reaffirmed that partnerships are going to be even more crucial as we come out of Covid,” he says. “Most airlines going to be operating smaller fleets, so the ability to offer a global network is going to be dependent on partners like never before.” <br/>
