American, Malaysia Airlines announce codeshare agreement
American Airlines, poised to become one of the largest airlines in the world if the US Airways merger happens as expected, is strengthening its position in Asia with the announcement of a new oneworld alliance member in Malaysia Airlines and codeshare flights that will extend American’s reach in Southeast Asia through the Kuala Lumpur-based airline.
Starting this week, American’s customers can get their AAdvantage miles on Malaysia as well as increase their in-alliance options for flights in Asia and beyond.
The codeshare agreement with Malaysia Airlines will include placing American’s code on nonstop flights between Malaysia’s hub in Kuala Lumpur and its Southeast Asia destinations, as well as flights to the carriers’ European gateways such as Paris and London. Customers can begin booking travel on codeshare flights on Feb. 24, 2013 for travel beginning March 1, 2013.
