Emirates is not part of any Alliance

Emirates is the only major airline in the world which is not part of any alliance. The 3 major airline alliances, Star Alliance with members such as Lufthansa or Thai Airways, OneWorld with British Airways or Qatar Airways and also SkyTeam with Aeroflot or China Southern have always tried to convince the Middle Eastern giant to join their programmes and join the team, without any success though. CEO Sir Tim Clark isn't a big fan of those networks and rather stay independent. However, Emirates does has codeshare agreements with airlines such as Qantas, South African Airways or SriLankan.
