After recently resuming flights to Paris and Frankfurt, Sri Lankan Airlines reinstates codeshare partnership with American Airlines to facilitate the ease of travel across North America and Europe. The codeshare opens up numerous US and European cities for airline’s customers.

With the aim to improve connectivity, notably to North American and European markets, Sri Lankan Airlines has resumed its codeshare agreement with American Airlines. The agreement allows placement of Sri Lankan Airlines’ code on American Airlines’ flights to several US cities, namely Miami and New York via Sri Lankan’s European points in London and Paris; Dallas-Fort Worth via Paris and Frankfurt; and Los Angeles and Chicago via London. Of these US cities, Dallas-Fort Worth is a new addition to the Sri Lankan Airlines’ route network.

Besides the agreement with AA, Sri Lankan also offers seamless connectivity to numerous other cities across the world through its existing codeshare agreements with Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways, via Doha and Abu Dhabi respectively up to now. The Sri Lankan Airlines route network now covers 121 cities in 55 countries with the addition of Dallas-Fort Worth.

After a pandemic-forced hiatus, Sri Lankan Airlines recently resumed flights to Paris and Frankfurt and the airline says it is committed to expand its network with the addition of new online destinations, as well as through several recent and planned codeshare partnerships with other airlines.

“We are pleased to reinstate our codeshare partnership with American Airlines as Sri Lankan Airlines continues to expand its operations in Europe. This will introduce multiple new sectors and flight options to our growing network and allow our customers the option of convenient connections to several cities in North America via London, Paris or Frankfurt,” says Richard Nuttall, acting Chief Executive Officer/Chief Commercial Officer of Sri Lankan Airlines.

“We are delighted to re-start our codeshare cooperation with OneWorld partner, Sri Lankan Airways, to better serve customers traveling between Sri Lanka and the United States,” says Anmol Bhargava, vice president Global Alliances & Partnerships of American Airlines.

Passengers intending to travel with Sri Lankan Airlines could book their tickets from the airline’s ticket offices in Colombo, Galle, and Kandy or through their preferred travel agent.
