Although the alliance loses in the number of participants (26 airlines) and (20 airlines), in terms of the overall size of the fleet and the number of destinations, it is almost on a par with Skyteam. Largely due to the fact that the key airlines of the alliance are the huge fleet size of American and the large Qatar Airways, British Airways, QANTAS and LATAM.

If we talk about airlines from Europe, there are only three of them in oneworld:

• British British Airways
• Finnish;
• and Spanish Iberia.

Russia is represented in oneworld by S7 Airlines, which, before joining the international alliance, significantly improved the quality of service, updated its fleet of aircraft, replacing outdated ones soviet planes on modern liners Airbus, Boeing and Embraer. Now the carrier fully complies with all international standards safety and quality of service.

It is possible that over time another carrier from Russia will appear in oneworld, but for now the alliance is announcing its plans to expand its presence in other regions - especially in Africa and China. Oneworld is now practically not represented there, unlike Star Alliance and SkyTeam.

oneworld: safety and incidents

Each air carrier applying for entry into oneworld undergoes an external audit. It includes a 118-point audit of the company. Most of of which is related to security.

We searched international aircraft accident databases to find all fatalities involving oneworld member airlines.

• American Airlines has had two plane crashes since it joined oneworld. Two planes carrying passengers were destroyed on September 11, 2001 during the terrorist attacks in New York. And in November of the same year, an Airbus A300 crashed - the tail stabilizer fell off the plane. 260 people on board died.
• In July 2007, an Airbus A320 of LAN Brasil (now LATAM Airlines Brasil) rolled out of bounds while landing in Sao Paulo. runway and crashed into a warehouse building. All 187 passengers were killed, as well as the crew and 12 people on the ground.
• In August 2011, a Boeing 737 operated by LAN Colombia (now LATAM Airlines Colombia) crashed during landing. 2 people died, 114 were injured. The cause of the disaster was a lightning strike on the plane.
• Two disasters in 2014 happened to Malaysia Airlines airliners. In March, flight MH370, operated by a Boeing 777, disappeared from radar screens. There were 239 passengers on board. Even the approximate location of the plane crash is still unknown. The second airliner (also a Boeing 777) was shot down in July of the same year in the skies over Ukraine. 298 people on board were killed.

Note! We analyzed accidents with planes of one or another airline only from the moment it joined the alliance! We only took into account incidents that resulted in the death of passengers.

There have also been several crashes and loss of aircraft near different airlines, but they did not kill passengers or people on the ground. Disasters with S7 Airlines airliners happened long before the airline joined the alliance.

oneworld development prospects

For all international alliances, one of the most promising markets now is Indian. oneworld is not currently represented there. The alliance also does not have African airlines or frequent flights to African countries. It is logical to assume that these are the main directions of development of the alliance.

On the other hand, oneworld has a strong presence in most Latin American countries thanks to LATAM. And in Asia by Malaysia Airlines and SriLankan.

Perhaps in the near future one or more airlines from Europe will join the alliance. And in 2018, the national airline of the Republic of Fiji, Fiji Airlines (formerly Air Pacific), is expected to join the alliance.
