A codeshare is an aviation business partnership through which a flight operated by one airline is jointly marketed by one or more other airlines.
The purpose of a code share is to make air travel easier, by allowing travellers to travel across the networks of multiple airlines with a single reservation, in order to reach their final destination.
Korean Air currently has code share partnerships with 34 airlines on 397 routes worldwide.
Korean Air will continue to expand opportunities for codeshare partnerships to provide seamless travel with the most convenient schedules for its passengers.
