American Airlines, Iberia Express Codeshare Agreement Approved

American Airlines and Iberia Express, a subsidiary of American's joint business partner, Iberia Airlines, received approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation for a new codeshare agreement. This agreement allows American to place its code on flights marketed by Iberia, and operated by Iberia Express, between its Madrid hub and 14 destinations throughout Europe. Flights are available for sale Sept. 4 for travel beginning Sept. 10.

"Our new relationship with Iberia Express will allow customers of both our airlines to connect more conveniently when traveling between North America and Europe,” said Kurt Stache, American's vice president of strategic alliances.

American Airlines AAdvantage members currently have the ability to earn and redeem miles for award travel on Iberia Express. American and Iberia Express are both members of the oneworld alliance.
