I'm quite surprised Jet Airways is not in the list ! Air India will join Star Alliance while Kingfisher is said to join Sky Team. Oneworld also needs an Indian carrier thus leaving Jet Airways as the only option.

I think there would be a lot of concerns over AR's longevity given its checkered past. SK's been trying to sell JK for sometime now but nobody seems to be willing to pony the money up. :) |
Flightglobal Article
Some interesting analysis here from FlightGlobal on alliance expansion and the development of antitrust immunised groupings:
http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...go-change.html They are still predicting MU will join oneworld and also highlight the ongoing negotiations with TAM. |
But isn't MU going to be gobbled up by either Air China or Singapore Air? I don't think anyone cares about a possible monopoly situation for Star in China as long as officials get paid.
Grrr, it seems that there will never be an option to get OW status relevant miles for China - Korea flights. |
