American
Airlines has signed an agreement with Doha, Qatar-based Qatar
Airways, one of the world's fastest-growing airlines and a Skytrax
5-Star rated carrier, to codeshare on each other's flights providing
new growth opportunities for American in the Middle East and for
Qatar in the United States. Following government approvals the
new codeshare agreement will offer customers more seamless choices by
allowing the two airlines to work together to improve flight
schedules and connection times.
"Our extensive codeshare relationship with Qatar Airways will provide our customers with easy, premium access when traveling to and from the Middle East and beyond," said Kurt Stache, American's Vice President - Strategic Alliances. "This new codeshare relationship with Qatar is another example of how American is focused on building its global network through closer coordination with its alliance partners around the world."
The agreement with Qatar will include codesharing on nonstop flights between the U.S. and Doha, flights connecting at the carriers' European gateways such as Paris and London, and flights to cities in the U.S. and beyond Doha. Additionally, members of the American Airlines AAdvantage® program will be able to earn miles on the codeshare flights operated by Qatar Airways, providing another valuable benefit of the relationship. Customers can begin booking travel on codeshare flights as early as Feb. 10, 2013 for travel beginning Feb. 26, 2013.
