Korean Air and Delta Air Lines to further expand Codeshare Agreement

Beginning December 1, Korean Air is expanding the number of codesharing on its SkyTeam partner Delta flights within the US by adding an additional 65 routes.

Korean Air and Delta are currently selling seats on each other’s flights on 45 US domestic routes operated by Delta and 27 trans-Pacific and inter Asian routes operated by Korean Air.

The two SkyTeam carriers are expanding their cooperative efforts to add more US destinations including West Palm Beach, Seattle, Las Vegas and Buffalo to the current codeshare routes. With the latest addition of 65 new routes, the total number of US inter city routes offered to Korean Air customers will be increased to 110.

“With the extended codeshare with our SkyTeam partner Delta, customers will have even more expanded travel opportunities from Asia to the U.S, especially in the southern and eastern parts of the country,” said BH Won, Korean Air senior vice president, international affairs & SkyTeam.

The codeshare relationship between Korean Air and Delta dates back to 1995 and the two carriers have been cooperating on many aspects of their operations since then. At the present time, Delta Air Lines maintains its inter Asian network by codesharing with Korean Air on many popular travel destinations in Asia such as Narita, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, and Auckland.
