Star Alliance (former membership)

Star Alliance was a global airline network founded in 1997, enabling member airlines to collaborate, share flights, and offer seamless travel experiences across different carriers. It included major airlines like United, Lufthansa, and Air Canada. Over time, some airlines left the alliance to pursue other strategies, reducing its membership. The alliance aimed to provide passengers with more flight options, coordinated schedules, and shared frequent flyer benefits. Though some airlines departed, Star Alliance remains a significant partnership in the airline industry, demonstrating how airlines can cooperate to serve travelers better through joint networks and coordinated services.
