Swiss International to join oneworld

Well the tittle says it all

Taken from the OW website

Swiss International to join oneworld
alliance
Swiss International Air Lines accepted an invitation to join the oneworld alliance at Zurich on Tuesday, 23 September 2003.

SWISS was formally voted on-board as the ninth carrier in the leading international airline grouping after signing with founding oneworld member British Airways a memorandum of understanding to establish a wide-ranging commercial agreement.

This complements cooperative links established during the past year with virtually all of the alliance's other partners. These include an extensive marketing alliance with American Airlines, covered by US anti-trust immunity, and code-sharing and/or frequent flyer links with Aer Lingus, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia and Qantas.

Work will now begin on the necessary preparations for SWISS to be a fully-fledged part of oneworld. Connecting its IT systems to those of its new partners, training its employees to deliver oneworld products and customer support and the other necessary tasks will take several months to complete. From then, the airline will start offering oneworld services and benefits. This is expected to be during the early part of 2004.

Check back with oneworld.com often for more details on the SWISS integration. Details will be communicated as they develop.
