What is the extent of their current airline partnerships? Looking at
Wikipedia, it looks as if they codeshare with more Star Alliance airlines than Oneworld airlines, but it doesn't say anything about the extent of those codeshare agreements, so some could just be one or two flights per week. It says that they codeshare with four Oneworld airlines (MH, QR, RJ, UL), four Skyteam airlines (GA, KL, KQ, SV) and six Star Alliance airlines (ET, LH, MS, SQ, TG, TK). With such varied codeshare partners, I wonder if alliance membership is ideal for them.
