Alaska Airlines announces codeshare expansion with British Airways

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, 2021-Nov-04 — /Travel PR News/ — Alaska Airlines announces today (Nov. 2, 2021) a further codeshare expansion with our long-time European partner British Airways, a fellow member of the oneworld alliance. This expansion includes 16 additional markets, connecting Alaska’s network beyond Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles to British Airways’ nonstop service from London Heathrow. Since joining oneworld earlier this year on March 31, Alaska has added 188 additional codeshare routes – an increase of 39%.

As a oneworld member, Alaska has implemented new partnerships with member airlines Qatar Airways and Iberia Airlines, and expanded cooperation with existing oneworld partners American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Finnair. These six oneworld airlines currently offer 16 daily international flights to Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles – enabling seamless connectivity to Alaska’s comprehensive network up and down the West Coast.

“We’re excited to deepen our partnership with British Airways,” said Nat Pieper, senior vice president of fleet, finance and alliances at Alaska Airlines. “Alaska guests have valued access to London and Europe with British Airways for years, and the additional pathways announced today will make it even more convenient.”
