Oneworld currently comprises a dozen carriers, including American Airlines, British Airways, Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific and Australia's Qantas Airways, with Germany's Airberlin and India's Kingfisher Airlines expected to join the alliance in early 2012.
A formal membership agreement with Malaysia Airlines would be completed soon, Oneworld said on the sidelines of the annual general meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in Singapore.
Including Malaysia Airlines, the alliance would cover almost 950 destinations in 150 countries, operating some 10,000 flights per day and carrying 358 million passengers a year, it said.
The two-day summit of IATA, which represents some 230 airlines comprising 93 per cent of global air traffic, brings together more than 700 industry leaders.
