Value Alliance was an airline alliance formed in May 2016. The alliance was the second commercial airline alliance that comprised low-cost carriers, after the U-FLY Alliance. It was the first pan-regional LCC alliance and comprised five, originally eight, Asia-Pacific airlines: Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, Jeju Air, Nok Air and Scoot.

Value Alliance was the fourth-largest airline alliance in terms of passengers, flights, destinations, combined fleet and members, ahead of U-FLY Alliance and Vanilla Alliance.[3]

According to the Wayback Machine, the Value Alliance website ceased operating or taking fares sometime after May 19, 2023, with a message saying "This website is no longer supported. If you have questions regarding your booking or flight, please connect with the airline of your booking."[4]

History

[edit]

The Value Alliance was established by eight airlines in the Asia-Pacific region on 16 May 2016.[5] The alliance allows passengers to book flights with all of the eight carriers through each partner website, to create itineraries across the region through a single booking.[6] The combined carriers collectively serve more than 160 destinations, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region,[6] with a total fleet of 176 aircraft and an annual passenger total of 47 million in 2015.[7]
