American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia have partnered more closely on transatlantic flights through the creation of a joint business agreement.
Summer 2011 will bring even more benefits to customers as a result of the enhanced relationship among American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia when, for the first time ever, the airlines' schedules are coordinated for flights across the North Atlantic – including American's London express service with 15 flights per day from the New York city area to London.
The new schedule alignment, which begins March 27, means customers traveling between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and London Heathrow Airport (LHR) will benefit from more conveniently timed flights during peak periods in the late afternoon and evening. Customers will now have more ways to London – 15 flights a day in total between New York City (JFK/EWR) and London (LHR/LCY) – than ever before.
Previously, the 11 daily flights from JFK-LHR included five flights operated by American and British Airways that left at almost the same time. Now, those flights have been spread out to provide more departures at more desirable times throughout the day. For example, instead of the two morning flights from JFK in which both departed at 8:30 a.m., one will now depart at 8 a.m. and the other at 9:30 a.m., with both still arriving in London on the same day.
Through their joint business agreement, the participating oneworld airlines plan to work closely together to enhance travel on flights between North America and Europe, with plans to expand their global cooperation. And this relationship will extend further than simply providing new destinations.
For consumers, the agreement not only means more and better travel options but also more opportunities to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles and more convenient access to the airlines' combined airport lounges.
With antitrust immunity, American, British Airways and Iberia will be able to align their networks for North America-Europe travel by coordinating schedules, fares and operations, while sharing revenues and jointly marketing our frequent flyer programs, lounges and other services, offering customers seamless travel and enhanced rewards.
By working together the airlines will be better positioned to overcome the many challenges that the industry faces and to compete and adapt to the constantly changing aviation marketplace, creating better outcomes for customers and communities, employees and shareholders. Yet the individual airlines will continue to operate as separate entities with separate fleets, employees and brands.

"This JFK-Haneda flight, together with the overall closer cooperation between American and Japan Airlines, will surely benefit both countries by encouraging travel and trade and promoting the sharing of ideas."

qatar airways new destinations in africa
Qatar Airways announced new destinations in africa with Uganda, Azerbaijan served direct from the airline’s Doha hub.
Daily direct flights to Uganda’s second largest city of Entebbe are due to begin on November 2, marking the carrier’s first new route to the African continent since early 2007.
flights to Entebbe will be operated with Airbus A320 aircraft in a two-class configuration of 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.
“And we are pleased to be reinforcing our presence in Africa, four years after our last move there when we launched flights to Tanzania’s capital city of Dar es Salaam. Adding Entebbe provides us with another foothold deeper into the African continent, where we already serve 15 destinations. We are confident this route start-up will be as successful as the others being planned.”
June marks the launch of three routes – Iranian city of Shiraz (June 5), the carrier’s third city in Iran; Adriatic coastline city of Venice (June 15) becoming the airline’s third Italian gateway; and Montreal (June 29) being Qatar Airways’ first move into Canada with thrice-weekly flights non-stop from Doha.
The airline’s Doha hub feeds passenger and cargo traffic to all parts of the world, offering convenient connections across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America.
The daily Doha – Nairobi flights have increased to 12-flights-a-week. From January 3 2011, an additional two flights will take capacity up to double daily. The expansion comes after five successful years of operations to Kenya’s capital city.
The Tanzanian capital, Dar Es Salaam, receive an additional four flights a week from January 2 2011. An additional flight from February 14 will take frequency up to 12 weekly services.
Both routes are operated with an A320 aircraft, featuring 12 seats in Business Class and 132 in Economy.
The African continent is one of Qatar Airways’ largest markets by the number of destinations served – and the region alone makes up over 10% of the airline’s international network.
