Malev joins oneworld
Malév Hungarian Airlines is proud to be involved in the biggest expansion in the history of oneworld®. As of the beginning of April 2007 Malév has joined as a full member of the world’s largest airline alliance in addition to Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian all of whom now offer the alliance’s services and benefits as full members.
Members of the Malév Duna Club frequent flyer programme can now earn and redeem mileage awards on all other oneworld carriers. Whilst Malév Duna Platinum and Gold cardholders can also now gain access to the 400 airport lounges worldwide offered by the alliance’s airlines.
Frequent flyer programme members of the established oneworld airlines – American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, LAN Airlines and Qantas – can now earn and redeem awards and receive all other oneworld benefits on Malév as well.
oneworld has been the only global airline alliance with the customer convenience of interline e-ticketing between all its partners for two years already, enabling passengers to transfer between its airlines’ flights without the need for traditional paper tickets.
The same convenience is extended to Malév as part of a comprehensive programme which has seen all their internal processes and procedures brought into line with the alliance’s requirements.
Thousands of employees from the airline have participated in a special training programme to ensure they can deliver the alliance’s services and benefits from Day One, and dozens of its IT systems linked to those at the other oneworld airlines.
Signage at the 700 airports served by the alliance’s member airlines and at hundreds of sales outlets worldwide will be changed immediately to reflect oneworld’s new membership line-up.
Malév UK Country Manager, Doros Theodorou, said “We are extremely pleased to join oneworld. Being part of the most prestigious alliance of the world’s top airlines will broaden our network immensely and further improve the services and benefits we can offer our customers – making us a truly global, high quality airline. We also believe we can significantly enhance the offering to oneworld customers with the addition of our strong central and south-east European network.”
