Aer Lingus to leave OneWorld alliance

Aer Lingus - OneWorld - Republic of Ireland

Due to Aer Lingus becoming a low cost carrier for most of its business, Aer Lingus has decided to withdraw from the OneWorld alliance. OneWorld as a full service carrier alliance obviously cost too much for Aer Lingus to continue supporting. Aer Lingus is seeking bilateral relationships with OneWorld carriers, but Aer Lingus frequent flyer points will not contribute to OneWorld frequent flyer tier status. The timing for the departure from OneWorld has yet to be announced.
