More codeshare flights for three-way partnership
British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia will add another 317 codeshare flights to their trans-Atlantic joint businesses from Monday, December 20.
This is in addition to the 2,700-plus codeshares that were introduced at the launch of the three airlines’ joint business in October. At the time codeshares were introduced between the UK and US and Spain and the US. This latest move sees the carriers begin codesharing on flights to Canada, Mexico and cities across Europe.
American will add its AA code to an additional 57 British Airways flights to 16 destinations and four Iberia flights to two destinations.
British Airways will add its BA code to 42 additional American Airlines flights to 18 destinations and 56 Iberia flights to eight destinations.
Iberia will add its IB code to 72 American flights in 23 destinations and 86 British Airways flights to 24 destinations.
These new codeshare flights will go on sale from December 20 with travel starting from December 28, 2010.
Members of the three airlines’ frequent flyer programs – American’s AAdvantage programme, British Airways’ Executive Club and Iberia’s Plus – can earn and redeem points or miles on all codeshare flights.
