This Major Airline Will Leave Star Alliance In December After More Than 23 Years

Star Alliance has announced that Korean member carrier Asiana Airlines will leave the group in mid-December of 2026. Asiana Airlines was not a founder member of Star Alliance, but it was one of the earliest non-founders to join the group, having done so back in March of 2003. As such, its exit from Star Alliance at the end of 2026 will mark the end of a spell of membership lasting more than 23 years.
