The Oneworld global airline alliance is expecting 2025 to be a big year with the addition of two new full airline members joining the international airline partnership. The alliance is also due to see more branded airline lounges open across its partnership network as well as more airlines expressing their desire to join the alliance in the future.

2024 marked the 25th year since Oneworld was founded in 1999 by founding partners American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas. These airlines have since been joined by Alaska Airlines, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian, and Sri Lankan Airlines.  

The next airline scheduled to join Oneworld will be Muscat-based Oman Air in the second quarter of 2025. The airline is expected to become the 14th full member of the alliance on June 30, 2025, according to Oneworld sources. The carrier is undergoing a period of expansion itself with two new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners joining the fleet in 2024, with a possible return of flights to Singapore also being mooted by the carrier.
