A First For Juneyao
Juneyao Airlines has become the first airline to expand the Star Alliance network as a Connecting Partner.
Under the Alliance’s partnership concept, the Shanghai-based airline now offers Star Alliance passengers new transfer opportunities at either of Shanghai’s two airports – Pudong International and Hongqiao International.
For all connecting passengers through check-in will be offered in both directions and all qualifying Star Alliance Gold Status passengers will be provided the following privileges on their Juneyao Airlines connecting flights:
- Lounge Access
- Fast Track Security
- Additional Baggage
- Priority Check-in
- Priority Boarding
- Priority Standby
- Priority Baggage Delivery
Star Alliance CEO, Jeffrey Goh observed:
“With Juneyao Airlines as a Connecting Partner we have achieved two important goals. First, as an alliance we can offer regional airlines an attractive way to connect to our global alliance network, without requiring full membership. Going forward, this will enable us to strategically enhance our network. Second, with Juneyao Airlines we strengthen our market position in Shanghai, a city which is already served by 17 of our member airlines and which will now offer even better connectivity to our customers.”
