Delta Airlines announces codeshare partnership with Transavia
Delta Air Lines has signed a codeshare agreement with Transavia, a subsidiary of KLM, that will expand the choice of onward destinations offered by Delta from the United States via its hub at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.
Once government approvals have been received, customers flying on any of Delta's 19 peak-day flights from the U.S. to Amsterdam will be able to connect with Delta marketed code onto 10 Transavia destinations, including four destinations not currently offered by Delta through its existing trans-Atlantic airline partnerships. These new codeshare points include: Seville and Alicante, Spain; Thessaloniki, Greece; and Marrakech, Morocco. Six points already served by Delta will receive additional schedule connection opportunities with Transavia, including Barcelona, Malaga, Valencia and Ibiza, Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and Casablanca, Morocco.
"Partnering with Transavia will enable Delta to expand its network to include more leisure destinations, primarily in the Mediterranean region, that are popular with U.S. tourists during both summer and winter months," said Nat Pieper, Delta's senior vice president Europe, Middle East and Africa. "This agreement complements our already extensive network of codeshare services offered via Amsterdam with our partner KLM and opens the possibility of Delta being able to codeshare to additional Transavia destinations in the future."
Co-ordinated customer service
Delta codeshare on these Transavia routes will provide customers with co-ordinated customer service, a single ticket and through-check in of bags to their final destinations. Delta SkyMiles members will be eligible to earn frequent flyer miles on all Delta codeshare routes with Transavia.
Transavia serves more than 110 destinations throughout Europe and into North Africa with its fleet of 43 Boeing 737 aircraft.
"Transavia sets the tone in hospitality, service and digital technology in the European low-cost market and we look forward to offering Delta customers a warm welcome and friendly service on board our flights," said Paul de Raad, Transavia's vice president of Marketing and e-commerce. "As we celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2016, our sights are set on maintaining our position as the leading European point-to-point carrier to become the most affordable and accessible airline in Europe."
Delta marked its 25th anniversary of service to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol last year. Having launched its first flight from Atlanta to Amsterdam in 1990, Delta's network from the airport has steadily grown to 19 peak-day flights to eight U.S. destinations.
