The oneworld Alliance expanded its presence at London’s Heathrow Airport to 14 member airlines as Alaska Airlines launched its new nonstop service to Seattle on Friday, 22 May 2026.
This summer, oneworld airlines offer nearly 2,800 weekly departures directly connecting London Heathrow to over 160 destinations in more than 60 countries.
Alongside an extensive global network, oneworld customers enjoy premium facilities at LHR, including 13 First and Business Class lounges offered by British Airways, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Qatar Airways across Terminals 3, 4 and 5.
London is also the leading destination for international travelers planning Round the World trips, with 71% of bookings made so far this year on oneworld.com including the city as part of a multi-stop itinerary.
Last year, around 29 million oneworld customers flew from, to or through London Heathrow, of which almost 30% were connecting between oneworld member airlines.
Ole Orvér, oneworld’s CEO, said: “With service from the most oneworld carriers and nearly 400 daily departures, London Heathrow is a cornerstone of our global network, where our members work together to deliver smooth connectivity for millions of customers every year. It is also one of the world’s leading business travel markets, with more than 160,000 premium seats offered weekly by our airlines, and we are delighted to welcome Alaska Airlines as it launches its inaugural Seattle service from Heathrow, further expanding travel choices for oneworld customers.”
Brett Catlin, vice president of Loyalty, Partnerships and International at Alaska Airlines said: “As we launch service to London, we’re proud to further strengthen the value of our oneworld membership for guests. As one of the world’s most important international gateways, London opens up even more seamless options for our guests to connect onward across Europe and beyond through the oneworld alliance.”
Ross Baker, Heathrow’s Chief Customer Officer, stated that the airport feels proud to be the UK’s gateway to the world and the most served global hub for the oneworld alliance.
