American Airlines and LAN Ecuador announce codeshare agreement

American Airlines and LAN Ecuador have received approval, from the United States Department of Transportation and the Ecuadorean authorities, to begin codeshare cooperation.

In addition to strengthening the oneworld alliance to which both airlines belong, the codeshare agreement will provide the airlines’ customers with a wider range of choices and connectivity when travelling between the United States and Ecuador. The placement of American's code on LAN Ecuador flights will provide American's customers seamless connecting service to three new cities in Ecuador not currently served by American. At the same time, placing LAN Ecuador codes on American Airlines flights will offer LAN customers several new US destinations.

"By strengthening and broadening our relationship with oneworld partner LAN, we are able to offer our customers more travel options and are better positioned to deliver enhanced benefits across our respective networks" said Kenji Hashimoto, American's Vice President – Strategic Alliances.
