American Airlines and Seaborne Airlines announce a code-share agreement

American Airlines (Dallas/Fort Worth) today announced the launch of a new code-share agreement with Seaborne Airlines (St. Croix), providing customers access to six destinations in the Caribbean out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The code-share agreement allows American to place its code on Seaborne’s flights between San Juan (SJU) and Dominica (DOM), Fort-de-France, Martinique (FDF), Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe (PTP), Tortola, British Virgin Islands (EIS), Vieques, Puerto Rico (VQS) and Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands (VIJ). Customers can book travel on the codeshare flights today for travel beginning June 27, 2013.

As we have previously reported, Seaborne Airlines has been adding SAAB 340B turboprops and adding new longer-range routes, filling the void left by the removal of the American Eagle-Executive Airlines ATR 72s.
