Delta Air Lines has commenced a codeshare deal with China Eastern Airlines which will see the US carrier connected to 20 cities in China. Atlanta-based Delta’s ‘DL’ indicator has been added to 49 China Eastern-operated domestic flights in China, as well as direct trans-Pacific flights connecting Shanghai with Los Angeles and New York. In addition, Shanghai-based China Eastern’s ‘MU’ code will be added on 38 Delta-operated US domestic flights as well as trans-Pacific service connecting Detroit and Atlanta to Shanghai.
“Delta continues to grow its network in China with strong partners like China Eastern,” said Vinay Dube, Delta’s Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific. “China Eastern’s extensive network and growing hub in Shanghai will complement Delta’s existing service to China and improve our customers’ access to destinations across one of the world’s fastest-growing regions.”
This summer, Delta will operate 47 weekly flights out of China. New services include twice-weekly flights between Shanghai and Atlanta, which commence on 5 June, and Detroit-Beijing, which will operate five times a week from 1 July.
