oneworld to Relocate Global HQ from New York to
Fort Worth, Texas
(14/10/22)
The oneworld airline alliance has decided to
relocate its global headquarters to Fort Worth, Texas.
Currently located in New York City, the oneworld
global headquarters will move to Fort Worth in December 2022,
joining oneworld founding member American Airlines on its 300-acre, state-of-the art Robert L.
Crandall Campus adjacent to Dallas Fort Worth International
Airport (DFW).
American’s campus, dubbed Skyview, is home to the
airline’s Flight Academy, DFW Reservations Center, Robert W. Baker
Integrated Operations Center, Training and Conference Center, and
CR Smith Museum, as well as an office complex that houses the
airline’s leadership and support staff.
oneworld has been based in New York City since
2011, following a move from Vancouver where the alliance’s central
management team was based after the launch of the alliance in
1999.
The oneworld central management team will continue
to be led by Rob Gurney, who was appointed as CEO in 2016.
Rob said, “As our
industry recovers from COVID19, alliances and partnerships have
continued to deepen. With our new home in Fort Worth, we
anticipate even closer collaboration with American and our member
airlines as we work side by side to further grow and strengthen
oneworld.”
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest growing hubs in the
oneworld network, offering nearly 900 daily flights to more than
260 destinations.
In addition to being American’s largest hub, DFW
is served by seven other oneworld members: Alaska Airlines,
British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways
and Qantas.
Both Finnair and Iberia have launched new services to DFW in
the past year, leveraging the strength of American’s network at
its largest hub.
American Airlines CEO, Robert Isom, said, “We are thrilled to welcome the oneworld team to our Skyview campus in Fort Worth. American is committed to building
and delivering the very best global network and oneworld is an
important part of that mission. The American and oneworld teams
working more closely together will be tremendously beneficial to oneworld’s member airlines and customers around the world.”
