"American is eager to expand in Austin alongside the exponential growth of the region, and we'll be the easiest airline to do business with as we continue to grow," said Brian Znotins, American's Vice President of Network Planning. "Customers have been asking for more service to Austin, and today we're answering the call. These routes not only provide opportunities for companies to get back to business and for leisure travelers to enjoy the excitement of Austin, but also connect Central Texans with new leisure destinations they desire."
This summer, American and its partner airlines-JetBlue, Alaska Airlines and British Airways- will together serve 19 of the 25 largest markets out of Austin, offering customers more options and a more seamless experience.
American and Alaska Airlines plan to continue deepening their partnership, creating new codeshare routes from Austin (AUS) to San Diego (SAN); San Francisco (SFO); Portland, Oregon (PDX); and introducing domestic codeshare on flights between Austin (AUS) and Seattle (SEA), as well as on recently-announced service between Austin (AUS) and Boise (BOI).
American's partnerships promote growth and help smooth business operations. Codeshares enable customers to book multi-leg journeys as a single itinerary through either carrier and allow the partner airlines to offer more and more varied travel options than either would be able to provide alone.
