Malaysia Airlines and American Airlines have expanded their codeshare agreement to allow customers in Malaysia and the US to book codeshare flights direct with Malaysia Airlines.
The joint arrangement, which was announced in March this year, saw Malaysia Airlines and American Airlines commence codesharing on 136 weekly services between Kuala Lumpur and the US cities of Chicago, Dallas, New York, Miami and Raleigh through any one of the its three European stations namely London, Paris and Frankfurt.
Launching the second phase of the agreement this week, all codeshare services will be marketed as Malaysia Airlines flights, thus simplifying ticketing to one document issued by the carrier.
Additionally, the codeshare will be extended to Singapore and Bangkok via the Kuala Lumpur gateway.
Malaysia Airlines group chief executive Ahmad Jauhari said the codeshare creates opportunity for the airline to expand its network across the US, without launching its own flights to various cities.
“It also gives the US customers more options to choose from to travel to Malaysia, Singapore and Bangkok and is also expected to greatly contribute towards increased tourist arrivals into Malaysia,” Mr Jauhari explained.
Other connections on American Airlines and Malaysia Airlines network will be enabled progressively throughout 2013 and 2014.
