China Eastern Airlines (CEA)

Speaking to Reuters, a China Eastern Airlines (NYSE:CEA) senior executive, who asked not to be identified, said the carrier was looking to join either Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam in order to boost its profile, according to E-TravelAsia.com. He said the carrier did not have a preferred partner so far despite Shanghai Airlines, which China Eastern recently acquired, being a part of Star Alliance.
China Eastern spokesman Luo Zhuping confirmed the reports but declined to say when a decision on which one to join would be made. However, as previously reported in MarketBeast, China Eastern is in advanced talks with AMR Corp (NYSE:AMR), American Airlines parent to bring it into the oneworld Alliance.
