Asiana Airlines' last day in Star Alliance will be Dec. 16, the airline network announced Wednesday.
The Seoul-based carrier has been a member of Star Alliance since 2003, but in December 2024 it was acquired by Korean Air, a founding member of competing airline alliance SkyTeam.
Customers enrolled in any Star Alliance member airline's frequent-flyer program may continue to earn miles on Asiana Airlines-operated flights departing on or before Oct. 15. They also can continue to redeem miles for Star Alliance award tickets and upgrades on Asiana for travel completed on or before Dec. 16, according to the alliance.
Star Alliance Gold and Silver status customers can continue to receive alliance status benefits, including priority services, when traveling on Asiana until Dec. 16. Star Alliance Gold customers also can continue to have lounge access at eligible Asiana lounges when traveling on the Star Alliance network.
Following the departure of Asiana, 14 Star Alliance member airlines will continue to operate to and from Seoul's Incheon International Airport: Air Canada, Air China, Air India, Air New Zealand, EVA Air, Ethiopian Airlines, Lufthansa, LOT Polish Airlines, Swiss, Singapore Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines, Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines and United Airlines, according to Star Alliance.
As of Dec. 17, Star Alliance will have 25 member airlines.
