Re: Dragonair joining OneWorld

I once read an article in a Chinese newspaper saying that Dragonair have considered joining an alliance a few years ago, but have decided against doing so.

The Dragonair executive indicated to the journalist that it'll be to Dragonair's disadvantage to join an alliance. As we all know, Dragonair is the "preferred" airline for travel from HKG to China. By joining, say OW alliance, airlines of other alliances will very likely feed their passengers to other less preferred carriers such as Air China or China Southern instead.
