ASM WHITEPAPER
Lockdowns are beginning to expire around the globe, which raises the question - how will air travel change with COVID-19 still being a threat to our society? Airlines and airports have maintained regular communication throughout the pandemic, and are currently discussing how to implement new measures and protocols based off of the current climate.
 
ASM’s latest whitepaper provides insight into these developing discussions, and recommendations on what airports and stakeholders can be doing to step closer towards recovery.
 
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
 
How will airline partnerships adapt to the momentous changes in the global air transport industry? When the Star Alliance formed in 1997, it began a huge shift in how airlines expanded their networks and engaged with customers, especially frequent flyers. Oneworld and then SkyTeam soon followed, establishing three global alliances that collectively represented the majority of flagship carriers. They rapidly expanded, providing cross benefits to passengers that encourage them to stay within their chosen alliance.

  • Will the industry crisis mean fewer alliance airline members and how will any network gaps be addressed?
  • How are the alliances supporting their airline members and maintaining frequent flyer engagement?
  • How will market distortions from government aid and government ownership of some airlines affect alliances and equity partnerships?
Listen in as we raised these questions and more with the leaders of two major global alliances.
