  Star Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Previous to Star Alliance, Northwest Airlines and KLM were operating together as the forerunners of the modern airline alliance system since 1993 - although there had been even earlier pairings and groupings of airlines for decades on a less formal level.
The creation of the Star Alliance was a milestone in airline history due to its size and sparked the formation of rivals, notably oneworld and SkyTeam.
Star Alliance now runs 16930 daily flights to 842 airports in 152 countries with South African Airways and Swiss International Air Lines having joined at the beginning of April 2006.
