SAS modifies codeshare partnerships across EX-YU

SAS Scandinavian Airlines will shift from Star Alliance to SkyTeam in September, following an Air France - KLM's acquisition of a minority stake in the company. As of this September, SAS will add its flight numbers and designator code onto Air France’s service between Paris and Zagreb, as well as KLM’s flights between Amsterdam and the Croatian capital. Similarly it will codeshare with KLM between the Dutch carrier’s hub and Belgrade as of next month. From September, SAS is ending its codeshare partnership with Croatia Airlines on services between Zagreb and Skopje, Sarajevo, Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, and Zurich, as well as between Split and Zurich. Furthermore, its codeshare with Austrian Airlines between Vienna and Skopje, Sarajevo, and Zagreb will be terminated, as well as between Munich and Zagreb, operated by Lufthansa. For now, SAS will continue to maintain its codeshare on Star Alliance member LOT Polish Airlines on services between Warsaw and Belgrade, Podgorica, and Zagreb.<br/>
