Abstract: An analysis of fifth freedom operations in the Single European Aviation Market identified trends and patterns, which were found to be fundamental to understanding the rationale for airline alliances. Priority issues in achieving the sought after market coverage included the formation of alliances, the achievement of higher corporate strength levels and the quest for lasting and sustainable market positions. The development of a Route/Network Portfolio Management matrix permitted the exploration of strategies available to airlines for the creation of effective alliances towards these ends.
