However, this is a historic first in the world of alliances, with the integration of a non-air transport mode. The Star Alliance model of intermodal partnership aims ultimately to <strong>combine airline networks with railways, buses, ferries or any other transport ecosystem.<\/strong> An initiative to be applied alliance-wide. It is designed to simplify and facilitate transfers between airport, station and port.

For over 20 years, this offer has consisted of a combined ticket for trains and flights in a single booking.
