Oneworld (CRS: *O)
(styled as oneworld) is one of the world's three
largest global airline alliances
with its central management team, Oneworld Management Company,
based in Vancouver
, British
Columbia
, Canada
.
Oneworld was founded in 1999 by
American Airlines,
British Airways,
Cathay Pacific,
Canadian Airlines and
Qantas Airways. The alliance slogan is "oneworld
revolves around you" and its vision statement is "To generate more
value for customers, shareholders and employees than any airline
can achieve by itself."
The alliance had the biggest expansion in its history in 2007 when
Japan Airlines,
Malév and
Royal Jordanian joined as full members,
while Cathay Pacific's
subsidiary
Dragonair, four subsidiaries of Japan
Airlines and two subsidiaries of
LAN
joined as affiliate members. In 2009, Oneworld celebrated its 10th
anniversary with the introduction of a
new standard Oneworld
livery, that all of its
member airlines adopted on a proportion of their fleets; and a
special version of its
logo.
By May 2009, Oneworld and its members elect, reached over 720
destinations in over 140 countries. It operates over 8,300 daily
flights, carrying 330 million passengers on a combined fleet of
over 2,200 aircraft. It is the only alliance that has a full
network in
Australia with Qantas and the
only alliance with a member based in
South
America and
Middle East with LAN and
Royal Jordanian respectively. Since late 2002, Oneworld member
airlines have developed common specifications across their
engineering and maintenance activities, reducing costs through bulk
buying and parts sharing. It was also the first airline alliance to
introduce
interline e-ticketing across all member airlines'
network.
Oneworld was voted the world's Best Airline Alliance in the 2002,
2004 and 2005 Business Traveller Awards and named the World's
Leading Airline Alliance for the seventh consecutive year at the
2009 World Travel Awards.
Management
Oneworld announced the formation of a central management team,
Oneworld Management Company (oMC), to mark the alliance's first
anniversary.
The oMC was established in May 2000 and is
based in the Marine
Building
in Vancouver
, British
Columbia
, Canada
. It
is responsible for driving future growth and the launch of new
customer services and benefits. The oMC was led by its first
Managing Partner Peter Buecking, previously Director of Sales and
Marketing at
Cathay Pacific. The
present Managing Partner leading the oMC is John McCulloch,
previously the alliance's Vice-President Marketing. Reporting to
the Managing Partner are
Vice-Presidents for Commercial; Information
Technology (IT) and Cost Reduction; Airports and Customer
Experience; Membership and Operations; and Corporate
Communications.
The Managing Partner reports to the alliance board, Oneworld
Governing Board (oGB), which is made up of the
chief executives of each of the member
airlines. The oGB meets regularly to set strategic direction and
review progress.
Chairman of the board
rotates on an annual basis among the alliance members' chief
executives.
American Airlines
Chairman and Chief Executive
Gerard
Arpey was nominated on 20 November 2008 and is the present
Chairman of the oGB.
Alliance initiatives
Since late 2002, Oneworld member airlines have developed common
specifications across their engineering and maintenance (E&M)
activities, reducing costs through bulk buying and parts sharing.
In addition, increased efficiency by aligning their policies and
procedures and to share best practice. Prior to the initiative, the
alliance operate over 1,900 aircraft and spend approximately
US$5
billion
a year on E&M, excluding employment labour costs. Oneworld
Managing Partner Peter Buecking said the alliance was originally
launched as a marketing tool, but now place equal priority to help
with costs reduction amongst its member airlines.
Performance
, Oneworld and its members elect, reached 727 destinations in 142 countries and generated 752 billion Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPK). It operates 8,368 daily flights, carrying 330 million passengers on a combined fleet of 2,269 aircraft. It is the only alliance that has a full network in Australia with Qantas and the only alliance with a member based in South America and Asia's Middle East with LAN and Royal Jordanian, respectively. Though the 2008–2009 global financial crisis and the 2009 swine flu pandemic have hit the airline industry particularly hard, benefits generated through Oneworld enabled the member airlines to maintain their position as the grouping with the best financial track record. Based on latest 2008 full year results from members of all three alliances, Oneworld members combined lost US$1.7 billion net, against total losses by Star Alliance of US$8.8 billion and SkyTeam's collective US$13.3 billion deficit.
Membership history
A new global alliance
Five
airlines from four continents – American
Airlines, British Airways,
Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qantas – gathered in a ceremony in London
, United Kingdom
, on 21 September 1998 to officially unveil a new
global airline alliance, named
Oneworld. Oneworld was officially launched and
became operational on 1 February 1999. The alliance
slogan is "oneworld revolves around you" and all the
member airlines share one
vision:
"To generate more value for
customers,
shareholders and
employees than any airline can achieve by itself. "
The alliance's
service and benefits
include smoother transfers for
passengers
travelling across all member airlines; greater support to
passengers regardless of which member airline they are travelling
with; greater range of
round-the-world products; and
enhanced co-operation in the member airline's
frequent flyer programme to provide
more rewards, wider recognition and access to more
airport lounges. Prior to the official
launch, the alliance embarked on one of the world's biggest
employee communications and
training
programmes, involving virtually all of the 220,000 staff employed
by the five member airlines. The training would ensure all the
staff could deliver what the alliance
brand
promises. The member airlines, with their
franchise and partner airlines covered in the
alliance
agreement, have networks that
served 648 destinations in 139
countries. In
1997, the five member airlines carried 181
million passengers and 2.6 million
tonnes of
cargo with a fleet of
1,577
aircraft.
First recruits
Finnair, Finland
's largest
airline and flag carrier with services
to 60 destinations worldwide and a fleet of 58 aircraft, was
announced as the alliance first new recruit on 9 December
1998. In addition, the alliance also welcomed
Iberia, Spain
's flag
carrier, as its second recruit on 15 February 1999. Both
airlines, together with Iberia's franchisee,
Iberia Regional Air Nostrum, joined the alliance
on 1 September 1999; added more than 50 destinations to the
Oneworld network.
On 19 May 1999, the alliance greeted LanChile (now known as
LAN) as its newest and first recruit
from the
South American continent.
The
airline was formed in 1929 and operated some 120 flights a day to
17 destinations in Chile
and 22
destinations worldwide. LanChile's two subsidiaries,
LAN Express and
LAN Perú, would also join the alliance.
Moreover, Irish carrier
Aer Lingus was
formally elected on board and confirmed as the ninth member of the
alliance on 2 December 1999.
The airline was established in 1936 and is
one of the ten biggest companies in Ireland
.
Meanwhile, faced with years of financial losses, Oneworld founding
member
Canadian Airlines announced
in summer 1999 that it had only enough funds to operate for one
more year. After a four months
takeover war
between
Onex Corporation and
Air Canada, Canadian Airlines was
acquired by Air Canada on 21 December 1999 and as a consequence, it
would leave the alliance. On 1 June 2000, Aer Lingus, LanChile and
its two subsidiaries joined Oneworld, while the alliance farewelled
Canadian Airlines on the same day.
Subsidiaries and franchises – part 1
Air Liberté, a British Airway subsidiary,
was sold to French
investment
group Taitbout for £47 million in May 2000 and ceased to be an Oneworld
affiliate member.
British Airways said it had not been able to receive adequate
returns on its investment since the purchase of about 86 percent of
the French carrier. The airline was suffering from heavy losses,
expected to £250 million, due to increased competition in the
French domestic market in 1990s.
In spite of this, the alliance hailed the
arrival of a new affiliate member when Kenyan
-based
Regional Air joined the alliance on 1
July 2001, following its franchising agreement with British
Airways. It is the alliance's third affiliate in
Africa.
TWA's
regional carriers, which operated
under the
Trans World Express
brand, became American Airlines and Oneworld affiliate members, as
their name changed to
AmericanConnection on 2 December 2001.
The three airlines operating under the AmericanConnection brand are
Chautauqua Airlines,
Corporate Airlines and
Trans States Airlines.
Swiss International Air Lines
Swiss International Air
Lines (Swiss) accepted an invitation to join the alliance,
after signing a
Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) on 23 September 2003 to establish a
wide-ranging commercial agreement with British Airways.
The two
airlines planned joint operations between Switzerland
and the United Kingdom
with codesharing
on Swiss' London
Heathrow
routes. The Swiss Travel Club, Swiss'
frequent flyer programme, would be integrated into British Airways'
Executive Club.
British Airways would support a
CHF50 million
credit facility to Swiss, secured
against London Heathrow's slots.
One month later, both airlines formally
signed a new bilateral cooperation agreement on 22 October and
began with shared operations between London Heathrow and three
Switzerland cities, included Basel
, Geneva
and Zurich. It was later extended to all flights between
Geneva and London, included London City
, London Gatwick
and London Heathrow airports.
However, Swiss announced on 3 June 2004 that it had decided not to
proceed with the integration of Swiss Travel Club into British
Airway's Executive Club under the present conditions. The airline
stated the costs involved with the integration and drawbacks
outweigh the projected mid- to long-term benefits. The termination
of the proposed frequent flyer programme integration meant that the
bilateral commercial agreement between the two airlines could not
be continued, the latter being a fundamental condition of it
becoming an alliance member. Hence, Swiss was released from its
commitment to join the alliance. The decision, however, did not
affect Swiss' exchange of slots and the CHF50 million credit
facility with British Airways.
The airline was later taken over by Lufthansa
in 2005 due to heavy losses and joined Star Alliance in 2006.
Biggest expansion so far – the recruitment drive
British Airways terminated its
franchise agreement with Regional Air, the trading name for
Airkenya Aviation Ltd, following Regional Air's suspension on
flights operated as part of the franchise agreement in mid April
2005. This also meant the airline would no longer be a Oneworld
affiliate. Nevertheless, the alliance pressed ahead and embarked on
one of the biggest expansions in its young history.
On 17 October 2005,
the alliance welcomed Royal
Jordanian, its first airline from the Levant, Middle East and
Gulf
region. It is also the first airline accepted an invitation
to join the alliance for more than five years.
Asia's largest airline group,
Japan Airlines (JAL) announced their decision
to apply to join the alliance on 25 October 2005. The airline
stated their decision was in line with its corporate policy to
always think and act from the customer's point of view. Since both
parties share the same purpose and objectives, the Oneworld
membership would be in the best interests of the airline's plans to
further develop the airline and its strong commitment to provide
the very best to its customers.
The year was rounded off with Hungarian
flag carrier, Malév
accepted an formal invitation to join the allinace on 22 November
2005. It followed a
MOU reached between the airline
and the alliance in May 2005.
JAL and Oneworld exchanged a MOU on 8 February 2006, three months
after JAL first indicated its intention to join the alliance. The
MOU set out a
framework for the remaining
steps to be taken before the airline could be formally invited to
join. On 5 June 2006, JAL accepted a formal letter of invitation to
join the alliance and would offer Oneworld services and benefits in
early 2007. Five members of the JAL Group would also join the
alliance as affiliate members, these included
J-Air,
JAL Express,
JALways,
Japan
Asia Airways and
Japan
Transocean Air.
Subsidiaries and franchises – part 2
The alliance would further strengthen its network in
Latin America when
LAN's two subsidiaries,
LAN Argentina and
LAN
Ecuador, were announced as the alliance's newest affiliate
members on 31 October 2006.
LAN Argentina
launched passenger and cargo services in June 2005 from its home
base in Buenos
Aires
, while LAN Ecuador
launched its services in April 2003 from its home base in Guayaquil
. Both airlines would officially join their
sister airlines and offer alliance's services and benefits on 1
April 2007. Additionally,
Cathay
Pacific newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary,
Dragonair, would become an affiliate member of the
alliance. Dragonair
CEO Kenny Tang said:
"Becoming an affiliate member of Oneworld is an exciting
development for Dragonair and is another benefit to result from us
joining the Cathay Pacific Group." It would officially be on board
the alliance on 1 November 2007.
Conversely, on 5 March 2007, the alliance bid farewell to one of
its affiliate members and British Airways subsidiary,
BA Connect.
BA Connect's UK
regional
operations were sold to Flybe on 3 November
2006, in return for a 15 percent stake in the latter.
Approximately 50 UK regional routes are
affected by the sale, however, Belfast
City and Southampton
would remain linked to the alliance network through
other British Airways and alliance members. BA Connect's
operations from London City Airport and between Manchester
and New
York
would be retained and operated by another British
Airways subsidiary BA CityFlyer and the
airline itself, respectively.
Biggest expansion so far – the historic day
Oneworld completed the biggest expansion in its young history with
Japan Airlines, Malév and Royal Jordanian joined as full members
and offered alliance's services and benefits on 1 April 2007.
Furthermore, Japan Airlines' subsidiaries J-Air, JAL Express,
JALways, Japan Asia Airways and Japan Transocean Air, and LAN's
subsidiaries LAN Argentina and LAN Ecuador joined the alliance as
affiliate members on the same day. Together with the alliance
existing members and their affiliates, Oneworld served almost 700
airports in nearly 150 countries with 9,000
daily departures; and carried around 315 million passengers with a
fleet of almost 2,500 aircraft. Premium status frequent flyers from
JAL Global Club, Malév Duna Club and Royal Jordanian Plus could
have access to the 400
airport
lounges worldwide belonging to all the member airlines.
Oneworld Managing Partner John McCulloch said: "Today is a truly
historic day for the Oneworld alliance, for our new member airlines
and for our customers worldwide. Our recruits have enabled Oneworld
to broaden its coverage in three of the world's fastest growing
regions for air travel. We have added the quality and strength of
more great brands to the world's leading airline alliance, and
further increased the value, choice and range that we offer our
Oneworld customers."
On the same day,
Aer Lingus voluntarily
exited the alliance due to a fundamental change to its business
strategy and repositioned itself as a low fares point-to-point
carrier; while the alliance's strategy is the multi-sector,
premium, frequent international travellers' market. However, the
airline would maintain frequent flyer programme partnerships with
some of the alliance members. Moreover, the airline would continue
to participate in the alliance's Global Explorer round-the-world
fare product.
Subsidiaries and franchises – part 3
The alliance said farewell to its affiliate member and British
Airways' franchisee
BMED on 27 October 2007,
following the purchase of the airline by one of British Airways UK
archrival
BMI. Four days later,
Oneworld greeted its latest affiliate member and Cathay Pacific
wholly owned subsidiary
Dragonair on board
the alliance on 1 November 2007. Dragonair had the biggest network
into mainland China for a non-China based carrier, with about 400
departures a week.
In 2008, the alliance said goodbye to another two affiliate members
as British Airways continued the strategy of reducing its UK
franchises. British Airways
chief executive officer Willie Walsh
said: "UK franchises have outlived their purpose." The first
franchisee
GB Airways exited the alliance
on 30 March 2008, following its purchase by
EasyJet.
British Airways intended to start services
on London Hearthrow to Faro and
Malaga
and from
London Gatwick to Faro, Gibraltar
, Ibiza
, Malaga,
Palma
and Tunis
, which were
operated under the franchise. The second franchisee
Loganair left the alliance on 25 October 2008,
following the ending of its franchise agreement with the airline.
A
separate agreement for codesharing on some Loganair services
replaced the previous franchise, for British Airways passengers
connecting through Aberdeen
, Edinburgh
and Glasgow
.
Tenth anniversary

Oneworld 10th Anniversary Logo
In February 2009, Oneworld celebrated its 10th anniversary with its
10 member airlines –
American
Airlines,
British Airways,
Cathay Pacific,
Finnair,
Iberia,
Japan Airlines,
LAN,
Malév,
Qantas and
Royal
Jordanian. In the past
decade, membership
has doubled from an initial five members to ten members now; its
member airlines carried a total of 2.5 billion passengers and
generated almost
US$500
billion in revenue from passenger
activities. Alliance fares and sales products generated US$5
billion in revenue alone, with two-thirds or almost US$3 billion
would not have been generated if the alliance did not exist.
As part of the celebration and to increase awareness of the
10-member alliance, all the alliance member airlines decorated a
proportion of their aircraft fleets in a new standard Oneworld
livery – around 40 aircraft in total, mainly types that fly on
international routes. The alliance also unveiled a special version
of its logo, featuring the text "10 years" printed behind the word
Oneworld as a watermark on its round blue orb. In addition, a "10
percent off for 10 weeks to mark its 10th birthday" offer on all
the alliance fare products and a competition to win two
Business Class round-the-world tickets for
telling what other services and benefits they would like to see the
alliance offering.
New recruits
On 26 May
2009, Russia
's domestic
airline S7 Airlines was unanimously
elected on board the alliance by the 10 existing members and will
offer the alliance's services and benefits in 2010. The
airline has one of the most extensive networks covering Russia and
the
Commonwealth of
Independent States (CIS) and will add 54 cities to the alliance
map, with 35 of them in Russia. The airline's charter subsidiary
Globus Airlines will not be covered
by the alliance agreement. As a first step, S7 Airlines' network
was added to the alliance's Global Explorer round-the-world
product, offered by all the alliance and selected non-alliance
members.
On 10 November 2009, the alliance welcomed its latest recruit
Mexicana, after the airline accepted a
formal invitation to join the alliance on 9 April 2008. Its
subsidiaries
MexicanaClick and
MexicanaLink also joined as affiliate
members at the same time. Commenced services in July 1921, the
airline added 26 destinations to the Oneworld map. The airline was
named World Travel Awards' Best Airline Mexico and
Central America for the eleventh year
running. Mexicana is a former member of archrival
Star Alliance. Its departure in March 2004 was
the result of a decision to terminate its codeshare agreement with
United Airlines and opted for
bilateral agreements with American Airlines and Iberia.

Future members
Possible future members
Oneworld has expressed its desire to recruit new member airlines
while several airlines have expressed their intention to join the
alliance.
- China Eastern Airlines –
The airline has been courted by Oneworld and currently codeshares
with American Airlines, Japan Airlines and Qantas. However, Air France
and China Southern Airlines
are lobbying at the airline to join SkyTeam.
The Chinese government is considering a merger with Shanghai Airlines, which is already a
member of Star Alliance.
- Grand China Airlines – The
airline was previously known as Hainan
Airlines has expressed interest in joining Oneworld and has
codeshare agreements with Japan Airlines and Malév.
- Jet Airways – The airline currently
has extensive codeshare agreements with Oneworld member airlines,
particularly with American Airlines. Jet Airways officials met with
Oneworld executives to discuss a possible membership in June
2009.
- Kingfisher
Airlines – On 1 June 2009, Kingfisher joined Oneworld's Global
Explorer round-the-world
ticket product to enable customers access to the domestic
network in India
.
Oneworld Managing Partner, John McCulloch, mentioned that they have
been in discussion with Kingfisher about possible membership into
the alliance.
- WestJet – On
4 November 2008, WestJet agreed with the Oneworld alliance to
tailor joint corporate agreements and discounts for Canada
-based
companies. Seven Oneworld members are working with WestJet
on the corporate-specific offering, the carriers said. While the
announcement does not include codeshare agreements or broader
integration, Oneworld and WestJet said they would consider linking
up further. Air France-KLM, part of SkyTeam, on 5 February 2009,
signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide relationship
between these three airlines, and this would include codesharing
services. In addition, Southwest Airlines
, a low-cost carrier, has executed the definitive
agreement with WestJet to commence code-sharing capability in late
2009.

of their own; membership is based solely on the frequent flyer
programmes of the individual member airline. Alliance benefits are
only available to passengers on scheduled flights that are both
operated and marketed by a member airline.

member airlines could justify on their own. The alliance has
combined ticket offices, check-in facilities and lounges at some 50
airports worldwide.
Customer service initiatives
Interline electronic ticket
On 21 April 2005, Oneworld became the first
airline alliance to enable its customers to
fly throughout its members' network on
electronic tickets (E-Tickets) only, with
the completion of
interline e-ticketing
(IET) links between all its member airlines. E-Ticket made
checking-in quicker and smoother as all the information is stored
electronically, it cannot be lost or risk being stolen like a
traditional paper ticket. In addition, E-Ticket enabled customers
to access new automated features, like self-service, mobile or
internet check-in.
Oneworld Travel Stations and Oneworld Charging Stations
On 16 September 2008, Oneworld and
Lonely
Planet jointly introduced Oneworld Travel Stations, interactive
installations to offer guides; tips and advice on where to sleep;
what to eat; where to relax; what to see and how to do business on
some of the world's leading destinations, which are served by
Oneworld member airlines. Any information, language guides and
audio casts can be downloaded to the traveller's
smartphones,
laptops or
other devices. In addition, Oneworld introduced Oneworld Charging
Stations, freestanding units to enable travellers to recharge their
laptops,
mobile phones,
PDAs and other similar devices for a power top-up. Both
Oneworld Travel Stations and Oneworld Charging Stations are
available free at selected airports in
Europe.
Oneworld Travel Stations won an Innovation
Award 2008 from the Netherlands
' Reisrevue travel trade magazine and a Silver
Winner for Best Use of Technology from the US magazine Event
Marketer.
Oneworld Travel Library
On 3 June 2009, Oneworld introduced
Oneworld Travel Library, a
library service with some of the world's most
popular books in audio format featuring approximately 40 titles,
including fiction, business, society and travel, available in
English,
Dutch,
French,
and
Italian. The audio books can be
downloaded free of charge to the traveller's smartphones, laptops
or other devices. Oneworld Travel Library is available at selected
airports in Europe.
Livery and logo
All alliance members' aircraft bear a small Oneworld logo, in
diameter, on the right of the aircraft entry door.
Japan Airlines – 2007 special Oneworld
livery
In 2007,
Japan Airlines (JAL) painted
two of its
Boeing 777 aircraft, a
Boeing 777-200ER (JA704J) and a
Boeing 777-300 (JA8941), in a special
Oneworld livery to mark its entrance into the alliance.
The first
aircraft (JA704J) took off from JAL's main international hub
Tokyo Narita
International Airport
as Japan Airlines Flight 441 bound for Moscow
on 16
April 2007. The design featured "a huge globe in the
distinctive horizon blue of Oneworld, painted on the centre of the
aircraft, with a stylised motif to symbolise the convenience,
comfort, value and choice available to passengers throughout the
alliance's comprehensive global network".
Standard Oneworld livery
The new standard Oneworld livery was introduced as part of the
alliance's 10th anniversary celebration in February 2009. It
features the alliance name in large letters that are almost tall
and the alliance logo along the side of their
fuselage, against a white or a polished metal
background. The name of the operating member airline will be placed
in smaller lettering in a standard position at the front of the
aircraft below the alliance name and logo. Each member airline will
also retain its regular
tailfin
design.
