AMERICAN Airlines and Swiss, the carrier formed to replace
Swissair, have entered into a codeshare agreement.
American will put its AA code on Swiss’ eight flights
between Switzerland and seven US gateways and on Swiss flights beyond Zurich to
points in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. This service will be on the
combined network of Crossair’s existing European regional operations and
significant portions of Swissair’s former intercontinental and European trunk
route system.
In turn, Swiss will place its LX code on American’s two
daily flights between Zurich and its US gateways of Dallas/Fort Worth and New
York Kennedy and American flights to a range of destinations within North
America, the Caribbean and Latin America.
The agreement takes effect from March 31.
