Jet Airways expands code share pact with Delta, Virgin Atlantic

Jet Airways has expanded its code share partnership with Delta Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, offering passengers enhanced connections to the US via London.

Last month Jet tied up with Air France-KLM and Delta to code share on US flights from Paris and Amsterdam.

Gaurang Shetty, Director, Jet Airways, said, "This expanded cooperation over London Heathrow, now allows us to offer our guests travelling to North America, multi-gateway connectivity over all of Jet Airways’ European destinations. The codeshare arrangement with Delta Air Lines will enable Jet Airways guests to seamlessly connect to 24 cities across the United States of America over London, Paris and Amsterdam.
 

Further, our loyalty program partnership will also enable the frequent flyers of both carriers to accrue and redeem their miles across each other's entire network.”

Currently Jet Airways code shares with United Airlines (a Star Alliance member) on its US flights over London.

A Jet Airways spokesperson said the code share with United will be discontinued from the start of the summer 2017 schedule.
