Today Value Alliance is formed bringing together eight low cost carriers in Asia Pacific creating the world’s largest low cost carrier alliance. Members of the alliance include
- Cebu Pacific and its subsidiary Cebgo
- Jeju Air
- Nok Air
- NokScoot
- Scoot
- Tigerair Singapore
- Tigerair Australia
- Vanilla Air
These airlines cover a third of the earth and serve over 160 destinations with a collective fleet of 176 aircraft across the Asia Pacific region. Last year, the airlines collectively served over 47 million travellers from 17 hubs.
The alliance is aimed at strengthening member airlines’ distribution in non home markets, expand saleable networks via the provision of interline itineraries yet retain their ancillary revenue opportunities while offering customers a better, one-stop shop experience.
You can view, select and book the best-available airfares on flights from any of the member airlines in a single transaction, directly from each partner’s website. The technology is developed by Air Black Box and offers you more destinations, routing options and greater convenience for customers of each airline. You can even select seat and meal, variable baggage allowance and other inflight features across all partner airline sectors in a single itinerary.
This Air Connection Engine platform has been filed by Air Black Box for NDC Certification with IATA and is expected to complete full certification soon.
Scoot and Nok Air are currently offering each other’s flight and fares powered by Air Black Box technology. NokScoot will implement tomorrow while the other alliance members will implement the system progressively over the next six to nine months.
