Value Alliance

Value Alliance is an airline alliance formed in May 2016. It is the world's second alliance (after the U-FLY Alliance) to consist only of low-cost carriers (LCCs). However, it is the first pan-regional LCC alliance. It comprises eight Asia-Pacific airlines: Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, Jeju Air, Nok Air, NokScoot, Scoot, Tigerair Australia and Vanilla Air, along with Tigerair who merged with Scoot under the Scoot brand.

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

The combined carriers collectively serve more than 160 destinations, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region, with a total fleet of 176 aircraft and an annual passenger total of 47 million in 2015.

Benefits can consist of:

• An extended network, often realised through codeshare agreements. Many alliances started as only codeshare networks.

Cost reduction from sharing of:

• sales offices
• maintenance facilities
• operational facilities, e.g. catering or computer systems
• operational staff, e.g. ground handling personnel, at check-in and boarding desks
• investments and purchases, e.g. in order to negotiate extra volume discounts

Traveler benefits can include:

• lower prices due to lowered operational costs for a given route
• more departure times to choose from on a given route
• more destinations within easy reach
• shorter travel times as a result of optimised transfers
• a wider range of airport lounges shared with alliance members
• fast track access on all alliance members if having frequent flyer status
• faster mileage rewards by earning miles for a single account on several different carriers
• round-the-world tickets, enabling travelers to fly over the world for a relatively low price

Airline alliances may also create disadvantages for the traveler, such as higher prices when competition is erased on a certain route and less frequent flights.
