Global Alliance rankings. Star grows share, oneworld loses. Lack of legacy options draw in LCCs
Star Alliance airlines are expanding their capacity by 10.6% in Mar-2011, growing the grouping's share of global supply to 26.1%, as other groupings fail to keep up. The world's unaligned full service airlines (FSA) are still the biggest group (and rich pickings for the expanding alliances). The unaligned FSAs command a 27.9% of global capacity, down slightly from 28.2% in Mar-2010, as they grow capacity by 7.3% year-on-year this month - slightly below the global average 8.6% expansion.
