Air India and the Indian Government have now officially given up on joining Star Alliance according to several reports in the Indian papers recently. Jet Airways looks to be given the go ahead to join Star any time soon.

Air India is now in discussions with OneWorld and Skyteam about joining of those alliances.

Now that is seems that Kingfisher is not going to last out and probably will not exist in 2013 should Oneworld and BA push Air India to be Oneworld's foothold in India?

Might as well get Air India in instead of them joining Skyteam. Skyteam already has China in the bag so Oneworld should snap up India before Sky get that as well.

Thoughts?
