Qualiflyer

Qualiflyer was a frequent-flyer program and, to some extent, an airline alliance created in April 1992 by Austrian Airlines, Crossair, and Swissair. Swissair extended Qualiflyer to become the frequent flyer programs of other European airlines when it began acquiring stakes in them in 1998. This spawned the alliance known as the Qualiflyer Group. With the failure of Swissair in 2002, the group dissolved along with the program, and a company was formed to give each former member airline an individual frequent-flyer program.
