The airline is always bound to perform best and provide the most amazing services to the people traveling with them. There have always been efforts in the direction of making the journey more comfortable and enjoyable. The alliances of airlines are the result of this effort. The Start Alliance was founded on 14 May 1997 and is the first global airline alliance. Until April 2024, it has been the world's largest airline alliance by market share. United Airlines is the founding member of this Alliance, which is why it is often called United Star Alliance.
