List of Airline Alliances (updated February 3, 2024)

It has been a year and a half since our last update to this post. A few minor changes (mostly deletions) occurred since then.

Airline alliances are extremely valuable when trying pool miles and points on one airline. Such partnerships allow us to earn miles with our favourite frequent flyer program without actually having to fly with that airline. Also, it makes our connecting flights easier as we can travel further around the world without checking in all over again if the connecting flight is with an alliance member.

There are 3 worldwide major airline alliances, as well as 3 regional alliances that we will mention further down the post. We’ve built up quite an archive of posts to track the historic changes of airline alliances over the years:

  1. Hi Matt,
    I am under the impression that SAS left the Star alliance and joined or joining Sky team.
    Isn’t Aeroflot suspended for now?

    1. SAS still waiting for approval to join SkyTeam, so still Star Alliance as of the post. Yes Aeroflot is suspended, updating post for that.
