Jet Airways and American Airlines Form Codeshare Partnership

India’s premier airline Jet Airways and American Airlines have launched their codeshare partnership through which Jet Airways’ JetPrivilege members will have the added benefit of earning JPMiles as they travel on these codeshare flights which would help enhance their JetPrivilege tier status.

This is Jet Airways’ third codeshare partnership, after its partnerships with Brussels Airlines and Qantas. Both American and Jet Airways operate out of American’s new terminal at John F Kennedy Airport (JFK).

To complement its daily flights to New York (Newark and JFK) from Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, Jet Airways will market and apply its code on American Airlines/American Eagle operated flights between New York’s JFK and Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Dallas (Fort Worth), Raleigh-Durham and Washington (Reagan). Similarly, American Airlines will now market and apply its code AA on Jet Airways operated flights between New Delhi and Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai in India.

Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO of Jet Airways, said: “With this partnership, Jet Airways and American Airlines will offer their passengers enhanced connectivity and seamless travel from key Indian cities to Baltimore, Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Raleigh-Durham and Washington (Reagan) in the US, and vice versa.”
