Really? It seems that ST is improving about every month to me. We have a bunch of new airlines joining this year. And correct me if I'm wrong, but ST is the alliance with the most A380's. Or the most members with A380's? I've flown the AF A380 several times and I'm looking forward to a trip on the KE A380 soon.

I'm not sure that 'number of A380s' is the most important measure of quality in an airline alliance - but with new airlines joining, and the roll-out of things such as the harmonised additional luggage policy, and SkyPriority, I would certainly agree that ST's offering is steadily improving.

from CAPA (sorry i can't give the link because i use mobile here), CEO of AF said that there's a possibilities that IndiGo will be potential future member of ST.
hmm.. it means that ST will be ended with 6E if failed to get 9W (though i can say that 6E seems more regional than 9W). And of course, it depends from 6E to do codeshare(s) with ST members or not as they're LCC.

According to this article....
"Jet has sought permission to launch 35 new weekly services to Germany and seven each to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sharjah, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and France from this winter."
3 of those countries having Skyteam hubs. Is this significant???

Anybody who follows the aviation industry knows that there is a very very very large difference between being granted route authorities and actually using them.

Earlier this year, certain JetStar routes became bookable as part of a OneWorld round the world ticket, when sold by QF with a QF flight code. But it is incorrect to say that JetStar is a OneWorld member.

Does anyone know when Saudi Arabia Air will be an official ST member? The ST website mentions the agreement signing in 2011.
Thanks...I am traveling next month to Jeddah via SA and would love for the miles to count.

Hong Kong Airlines (HX) would be the other interesting proposition ...
