Airlines can achieve same outcomes through alliances as JVs, but no economic incentive: Seabury

Seabury Airline Consulting partner John McCulloch, speaking at the CAPA Asia Aviation Summit, said (15-Nov-2016) airlines can achieve the same outcomes through global alliances as through JVs, but there is no economic incentive for alliance members to cooperate. He also said airline JVs are, "the right answer for the industry". Mr Bishko said good JVs use the different products of participating airlines to offer a greater range to customers and offer different fares for different products through fare coordination.
