Air New Zealand (Auckland) has added an additional “15 Years” logo to its Airbus A320 Star Alliance logojet.

On May 14, 1997, five airlines, namely United Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Thai Airways International and Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) launched the Star Alliance.

The five airlines adopted the traditional five-pointed star logo to represent the five founding airlines.

Air New Zealand joined the alliance in March of 1999.
