Besides its full member airlines, Oneworld also includes{{when?|date=May 2024}} around{{weasel-inline|date=May 2024}} 30 "affiliate" members. These are generally regional airlines that are either owned by or have strong commercial links with the alliance's full members. For customers, they further extend the network the alliance can offer. In governance terms, these affiliates are represented in Oneworld affairs by their "parent" airline.

[[Air Liberté]] ceased to be an affiliate member of Oneworld when the French airline was sold by British Airways to [[France|French]] investment group Taitbout with the UK carrier explaining that it had been unable to receive adequate returns on its investment in the business.<ref>{{Cite news|title=BA sells Air Liberte|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/736703.stm|publisher=BBC|date=5 May 2000|access-date=7 August 2009|archive-date=18 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151018003504/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/736703.stm|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Kenya]]-based [[Regional Air (Kenya)|Regional Air]] joined the alliance on 1 July 2001, following its franchising agreement with British Airways.<ref>{{cite press release|title='''one'''world extends its international lead with addition of new African affiliate|url=http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=1572|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120911200140/http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=1572|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 September 2012|publisher=oneworld|date=8 June 2001|access-date=7 August 2009}}</ref> [[British Airways]] terminated its franchise agreement with Regional Air when the African carrier suspended flights in mid April 2005, ending its affiliate membership of Oneworld.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Regional Air no longer a '''one'''world affiliate as BA terminates its franchise agreement|url=http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=4782|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120905105745/http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=4782|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 September 2012|publisher=oneworld|date=19 April 2005|access-date=7 August 2009}}</ref> [[Trans World Airlines|TWA]]'s [[regional airline|regional carriers]], which operated under the [[Trans World Express]] brand, became Oneworld affiliate members, as their name changed to [[AmericanConnection]] on 2 December 2001, following TWA's acquisition by American Airlines.
