Combining strength and innovation
In 1997, five airlines from the Americas, Europe and Asia founded Star Alliance as the first global aviation alliance. We’re still pioneering – dedicated to international travel innovation and providing customers a seamless journey.
Today, Star Alliance comprises 25 member airlines, each with its own distinctive culture and style of service. Alliance members come together at over 50 global hubs to offer smooth connections across a world-leading global network. A management company based in Frankfurt, Germany, and Singapore, coordinates Star Alliance projects and activities, which include airport co-location, digital infrastructure, frequent flyer integration, joint business lounge projects, and other services to improve the travel experience.
Star Alliance Member Airlines
Our member airlines include many of the world’s top aviation companies as well as smaller, more regional carriers. Together, they offer easy connections to almost any destination in the world. Each airline maintains its own individual style and cultural identity, bringing the richness of diversity and multiculturalism to the Alliance. At the same time each airline shares a common dedication to the highest standards of safety and customer service.
About Star Alliance Headquarters
Frankfurt, Germany-based Star Alliance Services GmbH was established at the turn of the millennium to manage the Star Alliance network, products and services on behalf of its members. In 2021, a subsidiary management company was formed in Singapore.
Between the two locations, about 40 people work at the Star Alliance management company, part of an international workforce that mirrors the reach and multiculturalism of the Alliance.
Internally, our business is all about connectivity, collaboration and coordination – creating and managing the products and services that bind the Alliance and make the flying experience for the customers of our member airlines as simple and as seamless as possible. Initiatives such as co-locating member airlines and signage at hub airports, special flight connection products to facilitate smoother transfers, ways to identify premium customers to ensure they are appropriately recognized throughout their worldwide journey by all member airlines, plus innovative technology and marketing know-how to help achieve this, and more.
The on-the-ground and in-the-air business of directly serving customers and operating flights is the domain of our member airlines.
