The airline alliance is the flight industry setting between two or more airlines that agree to work together at a substantial level. The Alliance can provide branding marketing to make it easier for travelers to create inter-airline codeshare connections within the country. This branding may involve a unified member aircraft member aircraft.
By 2015, Star Alliance is the largest with 23% of total scheduled traffic in miles of revenue passengers (RPM)/kilometer of passenger revenue (RPK), followed by SkyTeam with 20.4% and Oneworld with 17.8%, leaving 38 , 8% for the others.

Rationale
Benefits can include:
- Extended networks, often manifested through codeshare agreements. Many alliances begin only as codeshare networks.
- Cost deduction from subdivision:
- sales office
- maintenance facility
- operational facilities, e.g. catering or computer system.
- operational staff, e.g. ground handling personnel, at the check-in and boarding desk.
- investments and purchases, e.g. to negotiate an extra volume discount.
- The benefits of tourism may include:
- lower prices due to lower operating costs for certain routes.
- more departure time to be selected on a particular route.
- more destinations are easy to reach.
- shorter travel time as a result of optimized transfers.
- more airport lounge along with alliance members
- fast track access on all members of the alliance if it has a frequent flyer status
- mileage prizes are faster by getting miles for one account across multiple carriers.
- round-the-world tickets, allowing travelers to fly around the world for a relatively low price.
Alliance airlines can also create harm to tourists, such as:
- The price is higher when the competition is removed on a particular route.
- Less frequent flights: for example, if two airlines separately fly three and twice a day on a shared route, their alliance may fly less than 5 (3 2) times a day on the same route. This may be especially true between hub cities for each airline. e.g., flights between Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County (Delta Air Lines harbor hub) and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (KLM fortress hub).

Problems
The ability of airlines to join the alliance may be restricted by law and regulation or subject to approval by the authorities. The issue of competition law should also be considered in some countries.
History
The first airline alliance was formed in the 1930s, when Panair do Brasil and its parent company Pan American World Airways agreed to exchange routes to Latin America. In 1990, the Joint African Air Deals (AJAS) between Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia led to the launch of the Alliance Air in 1994, with South African Airlines, Air Tanzania, Uganda Airlines and the Ugandan and Tanzanian governments as shareholders. range>
The first major alliance began in 1989, when Northwest Airlines and KLM approved large-scale codesharing. In 1992, the Netherlands signed the first open sky agreement with the United States, despite objections from the European Union, which gave both countries unrestricted landing rights on other lands. Usually landing rights are awarded for a fixed number of flights per week to a fixed destination. Any adjustments require negotiation, often between the government and not between the companies involved. In return, the United States provides anti-trust immunity to an alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. Other alliances will struggle for years to overcome transnational obstacles and lack of antitrust immunity, and still do so.
The Star Alliance was founded in 1997, which brought the competing carrier to form Oneworld in 1999 and SkyTeam in 2000.
In 2010 Richard Branson, chair of the Virgin Group, announced its intention to form a fourth alliance between Virgin (Virgin Atlantic, Virgin America and Virgin Australia Holdings) airline companies. Then in September 2011, Branson said that Virgin Atlantic would join one of the existing alliances; the idea was repeated in October 2012. In December 2012, Delta Air Lines purchased 49% of Singapore Airlines shares on Virgin Atlantic for Ã, £ 224 million.
On February 14, 2013, it was announced that American Airlines and US Airways would merge, retaining the American Airlines name and would remain in the Oneworld alliance. The participation of US Airways in Star Alliance has ended. In 2012, in South America, LAN Airlines and TAM Airlines started their merger. In March 2014, with the merger completed, TAM left Star Alliance and became part of the LAN on Oneworld.
On September 21, 2015, the Vanilla Alliance was established between several airlines based in the Indian Ocean region, to improve air connectivity in the region. The founding members are Air Austral, Air Mauritius, Air Madagascar, Air Seychelles, and Int'Air ÃÆ'Žles.
On January 18, 2016, the first low-cost carrier alliance was formed, the U-FLY Alliance. Founding members - HK Express, Lucky Air, Urumqi Air, and West Air - are all affiliated with the HNA Group, although the alliance is also looking for airlines not included in the group.
On May 16, 2016, the world's largest low cost carrier alliance was formed, Value Alliance. The founding members are Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, Jeju Air, Nok Air, NokScoot, Scoot Airlines, Tigerair, Tigerair Australia, and Vanilla Air.
