Value Alliance was an airline alliance formed in May 2016. It is the world's second alliance, after the U-FLY Alliance, to consist only of low-cost carriers (LCCs). It is the first pan-regional LCC alliance. It comprises five, originally eight, Asia-Pacific airlines: Cebu Pacific, Cebgo, Jeju Air, Nok Air and Scoot.

Value Alliance is the fourth-largest airline alliance in terms of passengers, flights, destinations, combined fleet and members, ahead of U-FLY Alliance and Vanilla Alliance.[3]

The official websites have now been closed. Value Alliance is inactive.[when?]

History

The Value Alliance was established by eight airlines in the Asia-Pacific region on 16 May 2016.[4] The alliance allows passengers to book flights with all of the eight carriers through each partner website, to create itineraries across the region through a single booking.[5] The combined carriers collectively serve more than 160 destinations, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region,[5] with a total fleet of 176 aircraft and an annual passenger total of 47 million in 2015.[6]
