Swissair on Dec. 19 finalized its plans for a comprehensive alliance with U.S. partner Delta and European counterparts Sabena, in which it holds an ownership stake, and with Austrian Airlines. The alliance partners plan to "work together in reservations, standardize fares, share revenue and coordinate schedules more closely," said Phillippe Bruggisser, the incoming chief executive of Swissair. Another goal is to increase what is now a combined 12% share of the trans-Atlantic market.
