American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia kicked off their long-awaited transatlantic joint venture with the announcement of four new routes that the carriers will add to their combined operations in April, reported USA Today.
The four new transatlantic routes are: New York John F. Kennedy-Budapest, Hungary, flown by American; Chicago-Helsinki, flown by American; San Diego-London Heathrow, flown by British Airways; and Los Angeles-Madrid, flown by Iberia.
American also plans to launch an additional flight each day on its existing New York-Barcelona and Miami-Madrid routes.
The joint business arrangement among the three carriers, all core members of the Oneworld global airline alliance, effectively allows them to combine their transatlantic operations and operate as a single carrier between North America and Europe.
