Juneyao part of Star Alliance
JUNEYAO Airlines has become the first airline to join an expanded Star Alliance network as a Connecting Partner.
Under the Alliance’s partnership concept, the Shanghai-based airline now offers Star Alliance passengers new transfer opportunities at either of Shanghai’s two airports - Pudong and Hongqiao International.
Star Alliance ceo Jeffrey Goh said partnering with Juneyao allowed the Alliance to offer regional airlines a chance to join a global network and also grow its network at Shanghai’s airports.
“With Juneyao Airlines we strengthen our market position in Shanghai, a city which is already served by 17 of our members.”
Star Alliance frequent flyers will enjoy traditional privileges such as lounge access, extra baggage, and priority perks with Juneyao.
