Eight Asian budget carriers have forged the world’s largest and first ever pan-regional LCC alliance. Christened Value Alliance, the group comprises eight airlines – Tigerair Australia; Singapore's Tigerair and Scoot; Cebu Pacific (including subsidiary Cebgo) in the Philippines; South Korea's Jeju Air; Japan’s Vanilla Air; and Thailand's Nok Air and NokScoot. Together the eight members span a third of the globe, serving more than 160 destinations from 17 hubs with a collective fleet of 176 aircrafts across the Asia Pacific region. The partnership is viewed as a strategic move to create greater revenue opportunities by leveraging on the strength of each partner’s website in its home market, in order to increase the geographical reach of its members and to give smaller LCCs more heft against heavyweights budget carriers AirAsia and Jetstar. The alliance will provide customers with a one-stop shop experience wherein the revamped booking interface will offer a comparative view on best available fares and ancillary choices rendered on flights from any of the member airlines. The cooperation model will however be strictly confined to enhancing sales and ticket distribution among members, unlike comprehensive full-service carrier alliances, such as Star Alliance, Oneworld and SkyTeam, which are far more extensive and include cooperation in aspects like marketing, procurement and mileage transfer, along with common quality standards and service offerings.
