American
(AMR)

Initially, the agreement will enable American to place its code on Kingfisher domestic flights beyond Delhi, where the two carriers share a terminal. American will also codeshare on Kingfisher flights from London Heathrow to Delhi and Mumbai, while Kingfisher will put its code on American's Chicago-Delhi flight and on select American flights between Heathrow and the U.S.
The agreement also enables passengers to select which carrier's frequent flier miles they will accumulate on the code-share flights. Going forward, the carriers may allow choices regarding redemption.
