Delta & Korean Signal Closer Cooperation with Codeshare Expansion

By Michael B. Baker / 8 September 2016 / Contact Reporter

Delta Air Lines and Korean Air will expand their codeshare partnership in the fourth quarter, pending government approvals, the carriers announced. The move suggests a thawing in the relationship between the two SkyTeam members.

Under the new partnership, Korean will place its code on 156 Delta routes from Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to U.S. and Canadian destinations. Korean also will place its code on Delta's flights to Sao Paulo from Atlanta and JFK. Delta in turn will place its code on 32 Korean Air flights from Seoul's Incheon International Airport to such Asian destinations as Singapore, Taipei, Bangkok, Osaka, Okinawa and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Delta also will place its code on Korean Air flights between Seoul and both Houston and San Francisco.

Prior to this, Korean codeshared on Delta flights to Detroit, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, and Delta codeshared on Korean Air flights to 23 destinations, according to Delta.

The partnership will deepen when Delta begins daily nonstop service between Atlanta and Seoul on June 3, 2017; Korean will codeshare on that flight.

While both Delta and Korean were among SkyTeam's founding members, CAPA Centre for Aviation last year called their relationship "one of the most sour in any alliance." In 2013, for example, Delta discontinued travelers' ability to earn status-qualifying miles on Korean Air flights, and the two carriers pulled back on some of their codesharing. Prior to that, Delta reportedly had pushed for a joint-venture with Korean, which Korean rejected.

Korean, meanwhile, formed a codesharing agreement with American Airlines last year to put its codes on American flights between Dallas and Seoul. The move was notable considering Korean is in the SkyTeam alliance and American is a member of the Oneworld alliance.

Korean's new agreement with Delta does not change Korean's agreement with American, according to a Korean Air spokesperson. A Delta spokesperson said its mileage-accrual policy for Korean also remains the same, adding, though, "We always are looking at ways to enhance our partnerships with other carriers."

Delta has been shifting its own Asia/Pacific strategy, including its recent decision to end service on three routes from Tokyo's Narita Airport. In a statement, Delta international president and executive vice president of global sales Steve Sear called Seoul "one of the premier gateways to Asia," adding, "The strength of our combined hubs and flight offering gives customers a significantly enhanced portfolio of destinations for travel."

As of last year, Delta and Korean together accounted for 59 percent of the air travel market between the United States and Korea, according to CAPA.
