Cessna is considered to be one of the “Big Three” of general aviation, along with Beechcraft and Piper Aircraft. The company was first founded in 1927 by Clyde Cessna. The young aviation entrepreneur designed several small single-engine aircraft in the late 1920s. However, his first official aircraft, the Cessna DC-6, was certified on the same day as the stock market crash of 1929. Because of this, Clyde eventually closed down Cessna Aircraft in the early 1930s.

Remember last year when Air France-KLM announced that it would be acquiring a nearly 20% stake in SAS? Once things became clear that the deal would go through, it was announced that the Scandinavian carrier would be hopping from Star Alliance to SkyTeam overnight – from August 31st to September 1st 2024. Similarly, with ITA Airways – the jump from SkyTeam to Star Alliance was prompted by Lufthansa Group taking a share of the Italian carrier.And so when it comes to WestJet will it become a SkyTeam member in the future due to its new minority owners?
