The Pepper Alliance is a cooperative organization between airlines based in the Global South. Named for one of the principal historical commodities traded along the silk road, and a staple of tropical cultures throughout the world, the alliance is meant to improve south-south connectivity and pool the resources of airlines outside the industry's traditional Euro-American axis. Among its founding members is PDC Wagondia, which itself operates a number of sister companies such as the airship line Deutsche Luft-Wagondien and Malian flag carrier Isaberia. The Wagain national airline also operates its own constellation of supporting firms, including a worldwide aircraft maintenance contractor and a leading airport operations and catering service. The alliance is looking for potential new members located in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or the Pacific region, preferably mainline carriers with a high demonstrated quality and a moderate or large route network.

The advantages of joining the Pepper Alliance are numerous for an airline. The central function is a codesharing agreement between all constituent carriers, which allows travelers to seamlessly travel on multiple airlines under the same booking and flight number. Alliance members will often share the same terminal at continental hubs, allowing for efficient transfers. Frequent flier points are mutually recognized across the alliance, and loyalty perks such as airline lounges may be shared to maximize coverage. From an operational standpoint, personnel training will be optimized to allow for consistent quality and a more flexible labor pool. Furthermore, all members are granted preferential rates when contracting PDC Wagondia's external services, and will benefit from collective marketing and sales initiatives, keeping down costs across the board and sharing the burden of industry downturns.

OOC: I have actually been planning an airline post for a bit, as the old Air Elysium is no longer canon. I decided to adopt the RL Qantas Airways, the flag carrier of Australia for this purpose (though the name is based off of an Orsonian word, instead of meaning "Queensland and Northern Territory). Imperial Qantas the flag carrier of Orson and majority-owned by the state, and thus has to seek government permission to join a foreign air alliance.

Is Qantas a safe airline in Orson and what foreign countries do they fly to?

In terms of destinations, you would think that. But geopolitical tensions don't always affect flights. Despite Iran-UK tensions,including periods where neither side had an active embassy, Iran Air still continued their daily nonstop flights from Tehran to London. You even get some weird routes like Kuwait to North Korea.
