US Airways and United Agree to Cooperate July 25, 2002 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARLINGTON, Va., July 24 (AP) - US Airways and United Airlines, part of UAL, announced a marketing partnership today that will allow the two airlines to sell tickets on each other's flights. The code-sharing agreement is a major part of a restructuring plan that US Airways is putting into place to avoid bankruptcy. "A marketing agreement should significantly boost our revenues," the chief executive of US Airways, David N. Siegel, said in a statement "by giving us reach to more markets and enabling us to offer our customers more choices and greater convenience." United's chief executive, John W. Creighton Jr., said, "The agreement allows both carriers to complement their route networks in a way that will attract new traffic and boost revenue for both airlines." United and US Airways customers will be able to use their frequent flier miles on either airline. The two airlines tried to merge last year, but federal regulators rejected the arrangement, citing competitive concerns. United had planned to pay $60 a share to purchase US Airways before the regulators deemed the deal unacceptable. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/25/business/25AIR.html?ex=1028601626&ei=1&en=b16a51d90d0e2b16 HOW TO ADVERTISE --------------------------------- For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact onlinesales@nytimes.com or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to help@nytimes.com.
