American Airlines, Airberlin to end codeshare in March

American Airlines will discontinue its codeshare agreement with Airberlin from March 26. “An interline agreement will further exist between the two airlines,” an Airberlin spokesperson confirmed. “Passengers can use American connecting flights in combination with Airberlin transatlantic flights.” Airberlin began first codeshare flights with American in 2010 before it joined oneworld. Airberlin is expanding its Germany-US network for the summer 2017 season by more than 50%, the spokesperson said, adding, “The number of weekly flights will rise from 55 to 84 to a total of 8 US destinations.” Starting April 13, frequencies will increase from 10X-weekly to 2X-daily from Berlin-Tegel to NY JFK; 3X-weekly Berlin-Tegel-Miami services will become 5X-weekly. The carrier will also launch 5X-weekly Düsseldorf-Orlando services. <br/>
