The Star Alliance is the world's largest global airline alliance.[2] Founded on 14 May 1997, it is headquartered on the grounds of Frankfurt Airport in Frankfurt, Germany, with a subsidiary management company in Singapore.[6]
As of November 2022, Star Alliance is the largest airline alliance in the world by market share, with 17.4% of market share, compared to SkyTeam's 13.7% and OneWorld's 11.9%[7]
Star Alliance's 26 member airlines operate a fleet of over 5,000 aircraft, serving more than 1,290 airports in 195 countries on more than 19,000 daily departures. The alliance has a two-tier rewards program, Silver and Gold, with incentives including priority boarding and upgrades. Like other airline alliances, Star Alliance airlines share airport terminals (known as co-locations), and many member planes are painted in the alliance's livery.
