More interesting will be what Air China does now that its cross-shareholdings with CX are increasing. Coming to oneworld after all?
Is Silkair a low cost arm of SQ? Perhaps KA won't be a part of oneworld, but hopefully will be able to earn mileage on KA flights with AAdvantage, LANpass, etc.

LAN Peru isn't a part of oneworld, but still able to earn miles with AAdvantage, Marco Polo, etc. So hopefully, the arrangement with CX/KA will be similar to LAN.
