BA looks to code share with AA Trinidad Newsday 12.18.02 Competition in air transport in the region is getting tougher. British Airways has applied to the US Department of Transportation for a code sharing agreement with American Airlines. A code share between the two airlines would improve travel for both airlines' transatlantic customers, offering convenient schedules and reduced connection times to more destinations in the UK and the US. The agreement would enable the airlines which are both members of the one world global alliance, to place BA codes on AA flights beyond US gateway cities currently served by BA to points in the US, Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America and on AA flights between Glasgow, Manchester and Chicago. The application excludes code sharing on each other's transatlantic services between the US and London. The new code share would be competitive and would not include co-ordination on pricing. The existing one world alliance between BA and AA already allows the airlines to sell tickets on each other's networks and also covers frequent flyer and lounge sharing arrangements.
