On 22 June 2000, representatives of Delta Air Lines, Aeroméxico, Air France, and Korean Air held a meeting in New York to form a third airline alliance. These became the four founding carriers of SkyTeam. Upon its formation, SkyTeam would offer its customers 6,402 daily flights to 451 destinations in 98 countries. In {{start date|df=yes|2000|9}}, the alliance established a cargo alliance, SkyTeam Cargo. The group's inaugural members were Aeromexpress, Air France Cargo, Delta Air Logistics and Korean Air Cargo. The following month, the newly established airline alliance announced its intentions to incorporate CSA Czech Airlines as the 5th member in April of the following year.

The alliance saw the joining of CSA Czech Airlines on 25 March 2001; Alitalia entered SkyTeam on 27 July the same year, with its membership scheduled to become effective 1 November that year. On 30 September 2001, the alliance received KLM's application for membership, following the airline's plans to create a leading airline group with Air France.{{Cite press release|title=SkyTeam Welcomes KLM Application for Membership |publisher=SkyTeam |date=20 September 2001 |url=http://skyteam.com/news/headlines/20030930.html |access-date=8 March 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100106055913/http://skyteam.com/news/headlines/20030930.html |archive-date=6 January 2010 }} In 2003, Delta's subsidiary, Delta Express, was replaced by Song. That same year, SkyTeam also launched an improved website focused on providing passengers with more information, increased interactivity and other resources.{{Cite press release|title=SkyTeam Launches Enhanced Web Site to Improve the Passenger Experience |publisher=SkyTeam |date=11 June 2003 |url=http://www.skyteam.com/news/headlines/20030611.html |access-date=8 March 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519171021/http://www.skyteam.com/news/headlines/20030611.html |archive-date=19 May 2011 }}

On 13 September, Continental Airlines, KLM and Northwest Airlines joined the alliance.{{Cite press release|title=Continental, KLM And Northwest Join The SkyTeam Alliance; Solidifies Position as a Leading Global Alliance |publisher=SkyTeam |date=13 September 2004 |url=http://skyteam.com/news/headlines/20040913.html |access-date=8 March 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100106070237/http://skyteam.com/news/headlines/20040913.html |archive-date=6 January 2010}}{{Cite news|title= NWA, KLM & Continental join Skyteam Alliance|work=Manila Bulletin|date=20 September 2004|url=http://www.mb.com.ph/node/179853|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120606234915/http://www.mb.com.ph/node/179853|archive-date= 6 June 2012|access-date=28 June 2012|url-status=dead}} Their simultaneous entry was the largest expansion event in airline alliance history. As a result of the three new members, SkyTeam surpassed Oneworld to become the second largest airline alliance, serving more than 341 million customers with 14,320 daily flights to 658 destinations in 130 countries.

Even though member CSA Czech Airlines pledged to help Malév Hungarian Airlines become an associate member of the alliance (as opposed to a full member, an associate has no voting rights), Malév Hungarian Airlines opted to join the Oneworld airline alliance, signing a memorandum of understanding late in May. A few days later, SkyTeam announced four new associate members due to join by 2006, each one being "sponsored" by an existing member: Madrid-based Air Europa (sponsored by Air France), Panama-based Copa Airlines (sponsored and partly owned by Continental Airlines), Kenya Airways (sponsored and partly owned by KLM) and Romania's TAROM (sponsored by Alitalia).

In {{start date|df=yes|2008|6}}, following an agreement between Continental Airlines and United Airlines, the former, as well as Copa Airlines, announced their intentions to move to Star Alliance after Continental's final flight with SkyTeam on 24 October 2009. That day, as announced, Continental Airlines and Copa Airlines simultaneously left SkyTeam. Continental Airlines joined Star Alliance three days later; at the time, it was rumored that the switch was Continental's initial move in a United-Continental merger.{{Cite news|title=Continental plans United tie-up; will leave SkyTeam for Star Alliance|work=The Times |location=UK |date=20 June 2008|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/business/article4180450.ece|archive-url=https://archive.today/20110629123130/http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/business/article4180450.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=29 June 2011|access-date=17 November 2010|first=Mark|last=Frary}}{{subscription required}}

To start 2010, Northwest Airlines' and Delta Air Lines' operating certificates were officially combined on 1 January, while on 9 March, China Southern Airlines announced its plans to join SkyTeam Cargo. With membership expected to be granted in November the same year, the airline was to be the first Chinese carrier to join a global air cargo alliance. On 16 April China Eastern Airlines announced its intention to join SkyTeam, with the official joining ceremony initially expected to occur by mid-2011. The announcement came shortly after the airline's merger with Shanghai Airlines, a member of SkyTeam's rival Star Alliance.

On 10 June, Vietnam Airlines became a full member following a joining ceremony held in Hanoi. The airline became the first SkyTeam carrier from Southeast Asia, where Star Alliance has a strong presence through Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways International. With an extra 20 unique destinations added to SkyTeam's route map, Vietnam Airlines helped to strengthen the alliance's foothold in the region.
