SriLankan Airlines signs code-share agreement with American Airlines

Having completed a year of joining oneworld, SriLankan Airlines has entered into a code-sharing agreement with American Airlines, a founder member of the global airline alliance. The flag carrier of Sri Lanka became part of oneworld on May 1,  2014 as the first airline from the Indian sub-continent to join any of the global airline alliances, and has since then been offering the full range of the aviation groupings’ services and benefits.

Its code-sharing agreement with American Airlines is the fifth signed with its partners in oneworld since its addition to the alliance, with similar arrangements set in place in the past year with Finnair, Japan Airlines, Qantas, and Russia’s S7 Airlines, alongside an established accord with Malaysia Airlines.

Under the initial phase of their agreement, SriLankan’s UL designator will be placed on services operated by American Airlines on six transatlantic routes, connecting the US carrier’s Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O’Hare and New York JFK hubs with the European gateways of Frankfurt and Paris CDG, where they will provide seamless transfers with SriLankan’s own connections to and from its Colombo hub.
