The airlines signed a codeshare agreement, which enables them to sell each other’s tickets, under the same code, starting May 22nd

 

The agreement allows increased access and seamless travel to the United States for Avianca customers as well as United passengers to Colombia 

 

Customers will be able to enjoy travel on both airlines through a unified process: one ticket purchase, a single check-in, baggage checked all the way through to the final destination, and reciprocal accrual and redemption on either of their frequent flyer programs

 

During this first phase of implementation the codeshare cities include Denver, Chicago, New York/Newark, Houston, Boston, Cleveland, New Orleans, Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio, Seattle, and Tampa in the United States for Avianca; as well as Bogota, Barranquilla, Cali, Cartagena, Medellin, and Pereira in Colombia, for United

 

 

BOGOTA, May XXX, 2012 – United Airlines and Avianca signed a codeshare agreement to offer their clients more and improved flight options. The agreement allows both companies to commercialize flights operated by the other under their own code, therefore combining segments of both airlines under a single ticket. The airlines also signed a frequent flyer agreement which enables reciprocal accrual and redemption benefits on the passengers’ loyalty program of choice.

Avianca’s customers will be able to fly seamlessly to more destinations in the United States, while United customers will benefit from greater access to Colombian destinations. The codeshare agreement is effective for ticket purchase starting on May 22, 2012 for travel starting June 21. The frequent flyer agreement will be effective starting June 21. These agreements form part of the integration process that Avianca and TACA Airlines are undergoing to become member of Star Alliance.
