While there may be limited scenarios, where the UA Engine can provide some benefit, overall, it is very similar to [Awards/AC-StarAlliance], both in terms of data accuracy and route construction capabilities. Also, given the fact that both of the existing Engines have 100% support across all 26 Star Alliance member airlines, adding a 3rd one, may cause confusion to other users, who will not know which one to choose.

Nevertheless, we will keep the possibility of adding the 3rd Star Alliance Award Search Engine in mind.
