U.S. Airways joins Lufthansa alliance

America’s seventh biggest airline, U.S. Airways, will join Lufthansa’s Star Alliance partnership program starting May 30, Lufthansa’s designated chief Wolfgang Mayrhuber told the Frankurter Allgemeine newspaper on Wednesday. The partnership regulates joint schedules and allows passengers to earn frequent flyer miles on Star Alliance flights. U.S. Airways will be the second American airline in the alliance after United. The two airlines had tried to merge last year, but the deal ran into trouble with competition regulators. Mayrhuber said Air China was also likely to join the Star Alliance to strengthen the group’s Asian coverage.
