Under the plan, the carriers will merge their route networks and frequent-flyer programs but keep separate corporate identities and management teams. Passengers stand to get a wider array of flight options from nearly every locale, from Latin America to Asia. The alliance, still subject to regulatory approval, is expected to add some $500 million in revenue three years after implementation by capturing passengers who would otherwise have changed to another airline while making a connection.
