SR to join *A ???
There are rumors that SR is going to join *A or oneworld after the management has undergone a "slight" change. In one Swiss paper there was even a (forged) picture of an SR plane w/ * A logo painted on its back. Any facts?
|
Surely SR are more wedded to AA than UA at the moment?
|
No facts or official announcements. But oneworld is the most likely candidate. SR and LH in the same boat - that would be too much for the Swiss as well as the EU.
|
Does *A really need another Western European carrier? They've got two already!

SN is being vampirised by SR, all the profitable parts being sold to SR, leaving SN as an empty and bankrupt shell...that was SR's strategy, wasn't it ?
Qualiflyer's partners include AA and CX, all in OW. LL |

SR Holding may 'spinn off' (some) airline activities and it is possible (but far away from a made deal) that LH will be THE new airline partner (bringing than SR into Mileage Plus and StarAlliance) as LH 'forced the Austrian Airlines-Group into Star.
And for the counting: So far, the follwing European Airlines are StarAliance members: Austrian Airlines British Midland Lauda Air Lufthansa Scandinavian Airlines Tyrolian |
So we obviously need an Eastern European airline in Star to cover everything. Thankfully SU is going to SkyTeam, and they're welcome to them. Less thamkfully LO is firmly in the noworld(tm) camp. I suppose there is always Tarom who I am sure make most UA Sh*ttle flights seem like SQ First http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

1) There is no need for *A to accept SR as a member, since LH and SR have almost the same international network.
2)The Sair Group (SR, LX,...) is currently making huge losses. Will SR still exist in two years...? |
