S7 Airlines is Now Part of oneworld

  • World’s premier airline alliance adds Russia’s leading domestic carrier
  • Group’s network in Commonwealth of Independent States tripled
  • Double miles offer to frequent flyer to celebrate
  • Moscow ceremony marks latest landmark in oneworld’s breakthrough year

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — S7 Airlines today became part of oneworld®, adding Russia’s leading domestic carrier to the world’s premier global airline alliance. Its subsidiary Globus joined at the same time, as an affiliate member of oneworld.

They now offer oneworld’s full range of services and benefits, joining an alliance of best-in-class airline partners from every region around the world – American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN Airlines, Malev Hungarian Airlines, Mexicana, Qantas and Royal Jordanian and almost 20 affiliated airlines.

Customers benefit from expanded global network

S7 and Globus between them serve 90 destinations and 28 countries. They add 55 destinations in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States to the oneworld schedule, plus nine countries, in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. This has almost tripled the number of destinations served by oneworld in Russia, the CIS and other parts of East Europe to a total 84 destinations in 26 countries.

It expands oneworld’s global coverage to a total of more than 750 destinations in almost 150 countries, served by 8,500 departures a day operated by a combined fleet of some 2,250 aircraft, carrying 300 million passengers a year, with annual revenues of more than US$85 billion. When oneworld member designates airberlin, Europe’s fifth largest airline, and Kingfisher Airlines, India’s leading carrier, join in the coming 18 months, that will grow further to some 900 destinations, served by 9,500 daily departures operated by 14 airlines and 20 affiliates, carrying 340 million passengers a year on a combined fleet of 2,500 aircraft, generating annual revenues of US$90 billion.

Extended frequent flyer benefits – with ‘double miles’ offer to celebrate

Members of the S7 Priority frequent flyer program have now, in effect, had the privileges they receive when flying with S7 extended to cover travel using any oneworld member airline worldwide.

They can now earn and redeem mileage awards on any oneworld flight – and to celebrate the airline’s addition to the group, they will receive double the normal mileage awards when flying on S7’s oneworld partners for the next two months. (See notes below.)

S7 Priority Platinum and Gold cardholders have oneworld Emerald and Sapphire status respectively, gaining them access to some 550 airport lounges worldwide offered by the alliance’s airlines. S7 Priority Silver cardholders will have oneworld Ruby status.

S7’s network – the most extensive in the region – is now covered by oneworld’s market-leading range of alliance fares and sales products, including oneworld Explorer, the most popular round-the-world fare globally.

Its Russian domestic market is the world’s largest country in terms of land mass, the ninth most populous and with the eighth largest gross domestic product. It is predicted to be one of the world’s fastest growing regions for air travel demand.

Currently seven of oneworld’s established airlines – British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malev Hungarian Airlines and Royal Jordanian – serve Moscow, plus St, Petersburg and Ekaterinburg in Russia.

Completion of one of its biggest yet projects strengthens S7’s position

For S7, joining oneworld will strengthen its competitive and financial position, enabling it to offer customers an unrivalled alliance global network served by partners including some of the best and biggest airlines in the world.

Its addition to the alliance completes what has been one of the biggest projects in the airline’s history, with working groups covering some 35 streams of activity.

British Airways has been supporting S7 through its 18-month alliance implementation project, as its oneworld sponsor airline.

S7’s IT systems have now been linked to those of oneworld’s established members and various internal processes and procedures brought into line with the alliance’s requirements. An extensive employee training and communications program has been completed to ensure employees at S7 and throughout the alliance are ready to provide oneworld’s customer services and benefits across the expanded alliance.

As part of an extensive marketing communications program, all S7 Priority Platinum, Gold and Silver cardholders have been sent new membership cards, bearing the oneworld logo, to ensure they receive their alliance benefits from today.

S7 check-in desks, sales counters and other facilities at airports throughout its network have been specially decorated with balloons and banners today to celebrate its addition to oneworld.

Willie Walsh, Chief Executive of British Airways, S7’s oneworld sponsor, said: “Our aim has always been to establish oneworld as the world’s pre-eminent and most successful global airline alliance, with an unrivalled collection of quality carriers, offering the best coverage of the places our key target customers really want to reach and delivering unmatched benefits to customers and member airlines.

“Our focus on quality means that we are particularly selective and demanding in the airlines we invite to join us. We only consider carriers who match the quality of our existing members – in their approach to customer service, innovation, safety and security. Today, oneworld has added another great airline, the best, we firmly believe, in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States – S7.”

We are delighted to be welcoming them to the oneworld alliance.”

What: S7 Airlines Flight 778 Airbus A310 en route from Moscow to Irkutsk
Where: Irkutsk International Airport in Siberia
When: July 9 2006
Who: 193 passengers and 10 crew
Why: The plane failed to decelerate on landing and crashed into the barrier.

124 died.

The investigation showed that as the pilot slowed with wheel braking, he deployed the right thrust reverser. The crew was unaware that the left engine thrust lever was (accidentally?)advanced. This prevented the plane from decelerating normally.
