Recently, the airline announced a codeshare agreement with Iberia Airlines, offering customers easy access to international destinations in Europe. The agreement, under which Iberia passengers can book travel and connect to several routes across Alaska Airlines’ network and vice versa, has been effective Oct 7, 2021.Codeshare agreements have become commonplace in the aviation industry lately as airlines aim at expanding network to cater to the recovery in travel demand. Last month, American Airlines AAL announced a codeshare agreement with Indian low-cost airline, IndiGo. This is in sync with the carrier’s aim to launch new flights connecting the United States and India. Previously, American Airlines had entered into an exclusive codeshare agreement with Gol Linhas GOL. As a result of the code-sharing pact, passengers of either carrier can purchase tickets of the connecting flights using one reservation.In order to expand its international footprint, United Airlines UAL entered into a new codeshare agreement with Airlink, an airline based in South Africa. The deal will offer one-stop connection from the United States to more than 40 destinations in Southern Africa. 5 Stocks Set to Double Each was handpicked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2021.
