World Best Airlines

About EGYPTAIRIn 1997, a group of five world-class airlines got together to create something never seen before – an alliance that brought together networks, lounge access, check-in services, ticketing and dozens of other services to improve the travel experience for customers and efficiencies for the carriers. They called it the Star Alliance network . After EgyptAir joined in July 2008 the alliance grew to 21 members and 3 regional members , with Air India confirmed as future member carrier. A large network of carriers means more choices for customers. Our alliance members fly to more destinations than the competition. And that equates to easier travel and quicker connections. The main goal has always been to make the travel experience smoother for customers. That means doing things such as locating the member carriers closer together in airports, introducing new technologies, building common facilities at airports, coordinating schedules and installing connection teams for faster transfers of passengers and baggage. A multitude of other initiatives has been implemented and more are in the works. The brand – including the familiar star-shaped logo – represents the promise that the alliance strives to deliver, and it lets the customer know that wherever they are in the world, the alliance is there to help them enjoy a smooth travel experience. Star Alliance received the Air Transport World Market Leadership Award in 2008 and was voted Best Airline Alliance by Business Traveller Magazine in 2003, 2006 and 2007 and by Skytrax in 2003, 2005 and 2007.
