Customers travelling with airberlin will now be able to book codeshare travel on US Airways flights from Frankfurt to Charlotte and Philadelphia, Zurich to Philadelphia, and from Munich to Philadelphia, as well as connecting service to Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York and Phoenix.

“American Airlines has a longstanding relationship with our fellow oneworld member airberlin, and we are excited to extend that relationship to US Airways flights with this codeshare agreement,” said Kurt Stache, senior vice president – alliances and partnerships, American Airlines.

The airline joined oneworld as an affiliate member on March 31st, and will remain as such until it fully integrates with American Airlines as part of their merger to create the largest airline in the world.
