American Airlines Hooks Up With Malaysia Airlines.

Fort Worth-based American also has expanded its Oneworld global alliance with the addition of Malaysia Airlines, which strengthens the alliance's connectivity between key business cities in Asia and other areas of the world. 

Serving more than 60 destinations in 30 countries, Malaysia Airlines will expand the alliance's network in Southeast Asia, officials said.

American and Malaysia Airlines have signed an agreement to codeshare on each other's flights and, if given government approvals, will permit the two airlines to work together to improve flight schedules and connection times.

The new deal permits American's customers to earn and redeem American Airlines AAdvantage miles when traveling on Malaysia Airlines, American's Stache said.

"Our extensive codeshare relationship with Malaysia Airlines will provide our customers with easy, premium access when traveling to and from Southeast Asia and beyond," Stache said.

The 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 carrier's European gateways such as Paris and London.

Passengers can begin booking travel on codeshare flights as early as Feb. 24 for travel beginning March 1, officials said.
