US Airways Group Inc. said today that it has begun a code-sharing alliance with Air China Ltd.
The agreement will put the US Airways airline code on Air China flights between Beijing and Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, and on Air China flights from the West Coast to Shanghai that connect in Beijing.
Air China will add its code to US Airways flights from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Phoenix; Las Vegas; Charlotte, N.C.; Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh.
The changes begin Wednesday. Code-sharing arrangements allow carriers to sell tickets on each other's flights and offer reciprocal frequent-flier and airport-lounge programs.
US Airways now has code-share arrangements to more than 20 destinations in the Asia-Pacific region, said Andrew Nocella, US Airways senior vice president.
