They include U.S.-based carriers American Airlines, JetBlue and United.
The largest airline groups in Europe also signed on. Lufthansa Group carriers Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss are listed, as are International Airlines Group carriers British Airways and Iberia. Both Air France and KLM have signed on to the initiative, too.
Other airline participants are: Aeroflot Russian Airlines, Air Canada, Cathay Pacific, China Southern, Finnair, Qatar Airways, SAS, Singapore Airlines and SunExpress.
