Friday, 02 Feb, 2024 0

The global airline alliance oneworld this week celebrated its 25^th anniversary.

With a member airline flight now taking off or landing somewhere in the world every six seconds, oneworld has flown nearly nine billion customers since 1999.

It launched on 1 February 1999 by founding members American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas.

The airline alliance was formed to increase connectivity and flexibility for passengers and to reward frequent flyer customers.

Oneworld has grown to 13 airlines – Alaska Airlines, American, BA, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, JAL, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian, and SriLankan.

There are also 26 affiliate airlines and a oneworld connect partner Fiji Airways.

Oman Air is set to join the alliance in 2024 as a full member.

To celebrate the airline alliance’s landmark year, uniformed staff across oneworld member airlines will wear unique pin badges which have been specially-designed with a new 25th anniversary logo.

The member airlines collectively serve more than 900 destinations.

Ronald Lam, Cathay Pacific CEO, said: “Our partnership has enabled us to connect cultures and bridge continents.”
