AB's membership in OW has nothing to do with the opening of the airport.
You will rarely see a hard date for airline membership into any alliance. The usual press releases will state a certain time frame like 1Q, 1H, or early/mid/late 201x.
Every article I read about AB's entry mentions early or April 2012. Even AB's site says at the start of 2012.
