Aeromar and Continental Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Continental Holdings, Inc. and a Star Alliance member, announced that they will begin codeshare cooperation on routes within Mexico.
Effective Feb. 1, 2011 Continental will initially place its code on Aeromar-operated flights between Mexico City and 13 destinations in Mexico. The codeshare builds on frequent-flyer cooperation launched in August 2010 that permits Continental OnePass members to accrue and redeem miles on all Aeromar-operated flights. In addition, Continental international first- and business-class passengers, Presidents Club members and Star Alliance Gold customers may access Aeromar’s Salon Diamante lounge in Mexico City.
"The expansion of our partnership with Continental Airlines via codesharing will continue to broaden our leading joint market presence to better serve our customers, especially at a time when Aeromar is phasing in its first regional jets and further developing its route network within Mexico," said Ami Lindenberg, Aeromar president.
"We are pleased to expand our cooperation with Aeromar, which complements our extensive service to Mexico and offers new options to our customers," said Jim Compton, executive VP and chief revenue officer of United Continental Holdings, Inc.
