Those are the only three with names and the only three worldwide ones. There may be (now or in the near future) some regional alliances, where, say, groups of LCCs in adjacent countries form a multi-partnership, but that's not an alliance in the sense of the above 3 (for one thing, it's mostly about just cross-earning and cross-redemption, rather than benefits).

And, of course, there are partnerships between individual pairs of airlines all over, including some that include elite qualification possibilities and some that may include some sorts of benefits.

There are quite a few code-sharing "alliances", common-ownership "alliances" (Frontier/Midwest), and other types of points-earning/burning, status alliances.

But those are the three major, global alliances.
