With little current overlap in service, the consolidation would not lead to any immediate cutbacks.

A merger website has already been created, but the biggest question remains unanswered: what alliance will the new airline be part of it? All we have is this info:. A: We deeply value the alliance relationships we have built. In the short term, there will be no changes regarding our alliance partners. Continue to book and fly on alliance partners as you would today. After the transaction is completed, LATAM would evaluate the best alliance options for the combined carrier group.

Plus, the merger website states, "Frequent flyer program members will be able to earn and redeem miles on more flights, and be able to earn miles through more partners than ever before. The only real question, as mentioned above, is what will happen in the alliance situation.

LAN has been a key member of oneworld since It has greatly benefited from its connection with American and its strong presence between North and South America. The airline has been very happy with oneworld, and holds an important position. TAM, on the other hand, has only very recently gone with Star Alliance. Though Star Alliance is incredibly strong, its position in Latin America is weak.

So, which alliance will the new combined airline choose? That question becomes even more urgent for the alliances when realizing that there aren't any other real options there. But the strength of that group lies in Central and northern South America. For Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, there aren't any other strong options at the moment.

But Gol has so far insisted it plans to remain non-aligned and, if it did change its mind, would most likely end up in SkyTeam. After Gol there is only a limited pool of very small carriers that are likely not of any interest to oneworld. Oneworld lost this distinction last year when TAM joined Star. A win for oneworld would also significantly boost the alliance's profile, which has slipped in recent years as Star and increasingly SkyTeam successfully woo new members, especially in high-growth regions.

Adding LATAM would result in Star having the two largest carriers in Peru and the three largest carriers in Colombia — an enticing proposition but potentially resulting in too much overlap. Copa is also the largest carrier in the international intra- Latin America market, a fast-growing business-oriented market that is particularly appealing to global alliances. Star's market share in the region would further increase slightly if AeroGal and Avianca Brazil , previously known as Ocean Air, join the group.
