Qantas signs codeshare agreement with Mexicana
Mexico will become the 40th country in Qantas’ international network from 1 August 2006, following the signing of a codeshare agreement between Qantas and Mexicana today.
Qantas Group General Manager Sales and Distribution Rob Gurney said Qantas would codeshare on 237 Mexicana services per week to four destinations ? Mexico City, Cancun, Guadalajara and San Jose del Cabo, subject to government approvals.
“This is an important relationship for Qantas, expanding our network in the Americas and enabling us to offer Australian travellers a range of new travel opportunities in Mexico,” he said.
“We are also looking forward to offering Mexicana customers access to Australia’s biggest domestic network,” he said.
“Qantas will codeshare on Mexicana flights from Los Angeles to Mexico City, Cancun, Guadalajara and San Jose del Cabo, and from San Francisco to Mexico City.
“Mexicana will codeshare on Qantas flights from Los Angeles to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as our new non-stop San Francisco-Sydney services.”
Mr Gurney said reciprocal benefits include baggage interlining and the ability to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points when travelling on codeshare flights operated by Mexicana with a Qantas flight number.
Codeshare flights can be booked from 10 July for travel from 1 August.
