U.S. carrier United Airlines and Dubai’s Emirates announced a codeshare agreement amid strong demand for air travel.
United said it would launch a direct flight between Newark/New York and Dubai in March. Passengers of the flight can travel on Emirates or its sister airline flydubai from Dubai to other cities, Reuters reported.
The carrier also added that soon customers of both airlines would be able to book these connecting flights on a single ticket.
Reuters in August reported that the carriers would announce a codeshare agreement.
In June, American Airlines and Qatar Airways said they were expanding a strategic alliance announced in early 2020 with a new codeshare agreement, expanding the agreement to 16 additional countries.
