FORT WORTH, Texas, July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines
merger partner, US Airways, today launches its codeshare agreement
with trans-Atlantic joint business partner Finnair, further
enhancing its relationship with the fellow oneworld alliance
member and providing customers increased access to Helsinki and beyond. Customers can now book
tickets for codeshare flights for travel beginning July 24.
Through the codeshare, customers can now book Finnair flights
from New York's John F. Kennedy
International Airport (JFK) and Toronto Pearson International
Airport (YYZ) to Helsinki Airport (HEL) and beyond. The codeshare
will extend to additional Finnair flights from Helsinki, providing customers more access to
11 destinations including Brussels, Oslo, Stockholm and Zurich.
Finnair customers will now have more options when traveling from
Europe to the United States on US Airways-operated
flights to Charlotte and
Philadelphia. Customers can also
book travel on US Airways-operated flights beyond JFK to
Phoenix.
As part of this relationship, Dividend Miles and Finnair Plus
frequent flyer programs are able to earn and redeem miles on
flights operated by the other carrier, providing another valuable
benefit to customers. In addition, customers will now be able to
earn miles when traveling on codeshare flights operated by the

US Airways joined the Atlantic joint business with British
Airways, Iberia and Finnair as an affiliate member earlier this
year, and will remain as such until it fully integrates with
American.
