THY TURKISH AIRLINES is likely to be the next major carrier to join
Star Alliance. The airline has told the local press that there are
ongoing talks with Star and that full membership is expected by 2008.
No formal announcement has been made. Swiss and South African
Airlines were the latest airlines to join Star whilst China's Shanghai
Airlines has signalled its intentions to become a member shortly.
Currently Star Alliance comprises 18 airline members.
