More market capacity
SkyTeam is the leading alliance in Greater China with three regional members - China Eastern, Xiamen Air and China Airlines - and a total of 13 SkyTeam members operating flights to, from and within the region. SkyTeam offers a network of more than 160 cities across Greater China and has forged a strategic agreement with China United Airlines, further increasing network scope and competitiveness. Year-to-date, total Available Seat Kilometers (ASKs) offered by SkyTeam members serving the Greater China market are up more than 50% versus last year.

Bespoke global travel
To qualify for a SCCC, organizations must be headquartered in China and have a minimum total air spend of ¥2 Million CNY on three or more SkyTeam member airlines, of which ¥1 Million CNY must be international travel. Each company has the flexibility to select which SkyTeam members to include in their contract and travel must originate in Greater China. For greater convenience, there is a single point of contact so travel managers do not have to liaise with multiple different airlines.
