Air India to join Star Alliance
Air India is to become a member of the 19-strong Star Alliance global group of airlines.
Glenn Tilton, chairman and CEO of leading member United Airlines, said: “India has long been on the radar of Star Alliance; after all it is one of the world’s fastest growing economies and aviation markets.
“Having now come to an agreement with Air India makes us the first airline alliance to secure a member in India, which will enable our customers to receive more benefits when travelling to, from and within India in the future.”
Air India chairman and managing director Vasudevan Thulasidas added: “Air India is delighted in being invited to join Star Alliance.
“This invitation comes in the wake of Air India’s merger with India’s leading domestic carrier Indian Airlines, thus making Air India the prime player in the Indian subcontinent.
“In addition, the recently announced fleet expansion of over 100 aircraft will help Air India serve the travelling public better in terms of global reach and services.
“In being selected as a future Star Alliance member, Air India will add value to passengers patronising member airlines of the alliance”, said
