China Eastern

China Eastern's Chairman announced their intention to try to join Skyteam.

Here's a fair use clip from ATW:


"It also intends to join CZ in SkyTeam, Liu revealed earlier (ATWOnline, April 3). Ma said CEA's lack of alliance membership "takes part of the blame for our operating loss, as we always transport passengers from point-to-point instead of carrying them through a hub-and-spoke system. It not only can boost our revenue to join an international airline alliance but more importantly, it can help us enhance our management level, which can benefit us most" "
