American Airlines adds Southeast Asian routes with Cathay Dragon codeshare
American Airlines has teamed up with Asian regional carrier Cathay Dragon to offer customers easier connectivity on long haul journeys to Southeast Asia.
American will place its code on select Cathay Dragon flights from Hong Kong to four new cities starting this week.
These are Dhaka, Bangladesh, Chiang Mai and Phuket, Thailand and Da Nang, Vietnam.
The Cathay Dragon tie-up also increases frequencies to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Hanoi which are already in the American global network via other Asia partner carriers.
Cathay Dragon is a fully owned subsidiary of Cathay Pacific, which like American, is a OneWorld partner.
"The codeshare relationship with Cathay Dragon will further strengthen American’s existing partnership with the Cathay Pacific group in the years to come," American said.
American has been flying to Hong Kong for the past five years and operates daily flights from Dallas-Fort Worth and Los Angeles.
