Eurostar to be first non-airline SkyTeam member

Friday, 26 Sep, 2024 0

Eurostar is on track to become the first ever non-airline partner at airline alliance SkyTeam.

It signed a deal with the alliance that paves the way for integrated intermodal journeys via air and rail for millions of customers.

This would combine long- and medium-haul flights and rail journeys in a single reservation – while enjoying SkyTeam benefits.

Eurostar’s increased network offers many options for multi-city journeys between the UK, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Customers will be able to fly into SkyTeam’s main hubs in France, the Netherlands and the UK plus other major European airports across Eurostar’s network and enjoy multi-city travel in a more sustainable way.

Currently, around 13% of Eurostar passengers flying long-haul into one of SkyTeam’s main European hubs connect to another Eurostar destination by rail.

The two companies will work together in the coming months to create a more integrated experience for air-to-rail travel.

The partnership is expected to launch in the first half of 2025.

Eurostar and SkyTeam member, KLM, already have a long-standing relationship.

“Eurostar is a natural fit for SkyTeam. I look forward to developing our partnership and offering customers greater choice in how they travel across SkyTeam’s global network,” said SkyTeam CEO, Patrick Roux.
