SAS og Continental i code-share-samarbeid

[FlightDeck]

SAS har hittil ikke hatt code-share-ruter fra New York - bare Chicago og Washington D.C. med United - men nå har 14 nye destinasjoner blitt lagt til med Continental fra Newark-flyplassen. Det blir mulig å bestille billetter via SAS' egne nettsider, slik man i dag kan gjøre på code-share-ruter med United. I tillegg kommer den allerede annonserte code-share-avtalen med Ethiopian.

SAS adds code-share destinations in Africa and US

SAS Scandinavian Airlines has formed code-share agreements with both Continental Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines. With the new agreements in place, SAS can now offer its customers another 14 new code-share destinations in the US with Continental via SAS' New York hub.

SAS' new agreement with Ethiopian Airlines is effective immediately and includes code-share on Ethiopian Airlines' flight on the Stockholm-Rome-Addis Ababa route.

SAS already today offers some 40 code-share destinations in the US with Star Alliance™ partner United Airlines, primarily out of SAS' Chicago hub, which SAS serves daily from both Copenhagen and Stockholm. With the new Continental Airlines agreement, SAS will add a further 19 code-share destinations across the US, Canada and Latin America, including a large number of cities in Florida, such as Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Orlando. The code-share agreement also includes Montreal, Quebec and Toronto in Canada, and Lima (Peru) and Mexico City. Continental is SAS' primary partner out of New York's Newark airport, which SAS serves daily from both Copenhagen and Stockholm.

As of today, members of SAS' frequent flyer program EuroBonus will earn points on the Ethiopian Airlines code-share flights. Members have earned points with Continental Airlines since the airline joined Star Alliance™ in October last year.
