The characteristics of these alliances vary in scopes and extend from branding or franchising of low density feeder or regional routes to the creation of global airline networks conducted by the world's most powerful carriers. Due to various reasons airliners prefer the amenities of acting co-operative rather than competitive relationships. Overall, it is undeniable that the formation and the rapid growth of alliances has been a central topic of the airline industry. Meanwhile it is scientifically proven that the economical benefits and opportunities for airlines prevail possible threats and disadvantages.
