has the potential to realign air travel between the U.S. and South America; between South America and Europe; between South America and the Mideast; and between South America and Australia.

This bolster’s Delta CEO Ed Bastian’s claim that alliances are losing relevance to airlines and to consumers, and may lead other airlines to closely scrutinize their participation in SkyTeam, oneworld, and Star Alliance with wide ranging implications.
