American Airlines, Korean Air to codeshare on Dallas route
American Airlines and Korean Air have signed a codesharing pact for flights between Dallas/Fort Worth and Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea.
The two carriers plan to sell codeshare flights for travel starting in April 2015, subject to regulatory approval.
It will allow Korean Air SKYPASS loyalty members to earn miles when travelling on American flights on the route.
The new codeshare cooperation with Korean Air is an important milestone in growing our relationships with carriers around the globe to provide customers access to the destinations they value most," said Kurt Stache, American’s senior vice president – alliances and partnerships.
"This is the next step in strengthening our position in Asia, allowing us to win new customers in the region. We look forward to a strong relationship with Korean Air."
American’s DFW-Incheon service is operated by Boeing 777-200 aircraft.
"We are delighted with this partnership which will provide our customers with better access between Korea and the U.S. and to destinations throughout North, Central and South America," said Yong Soon Park, Korean Air’s senior vice president of international affairs and alliance.
