FRANKFURT, Germany - 15 years ago today an event took place which would forever change the landscape of commercial aviation. Five forward looking and like-minded CEOs took the bold decision to create the first ever multilateral airline alliance, the Star Alliance network. Founding carriers Air Canada, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, THAI and United all realised that with growing globalisation, the need for more international travel to a wider range of destinations would become increasingly important. As no airline on its own would be able to achieve this, these five airlines established the Star Alliance network with the aim of becoming the “Leading global airline alliance for the high value international traveller”.
