SriLankan reestablishes codeshare with American Airline

The partnership aims to offer SriLankan’s passengers enhanced connectivity across North America and Europe

SriLankan Airlines has reestablished its codeshare arrangement with American Airlines recently.The partnership aims to offer customers enhanced connectivity and travel options across North America and Europe.
Dallas-Fort Worth is a new addition to the SriLankan Airlines’ route network in North America. SriLankan also has existing codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways for several destinations in the North America. The airline’s route network now covers 121 cities in 55 countries.
This strategic partnership would allow the placement of the SriLankan Airlines’ code on American Airlines’ flights to US cities Miami and New York via the Airline’s European points in London and Paris; Dallas-Fort Worth via the Airline’s hubs in Paris and Frankfurt; and Los Angeles and Chicago via the Airline’s hub in London.
Of these US cities, Dallas-Fort Worth is a new addition to the SriLankan Airlines’ route network, as existing codeshare agreements with Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways have afforded the Airline’s passengers flight options to the rest of the cities via Doha and Abu Dhabi respectively up to now.
According to Richard Nuttall, Acting Chief Executive Officer/Chief Commercial Officerof SriLankan Airlines, “We are pleased to reinstate our codeshare partnership with American Airlines as SriLankan Airlines continues to expand its operations in Europe. This will introduce multiple new sectors and flight options to our growing network and allow our customers the option of convenient connections to several cities in North America via London, Paris or Frankfurt.”
Anmol Bhargava, VP, Global Alliances & Partnerships of American Airlines commented, “We are delighted to re-start our codeshare cooperation with oneworld partner, SriLankan Airways, to better serve customers traveling between Sri Lanka and the United States.”
SriLankan recently resumed flights to Paris and Frankfurt in commensurate with the Airline’s commercial strategy to renew its presence in European markets.
