American Airlines and Air Tahiti Nui have
received approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation for a
bilateral codeshare agreement.
The new codeshare agreement allows American to
place its code on Air Tahiti Nui flights between Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) and Papeete Faa’a International
Airport (PPT) and allows Air Tahiti Nui to place its code on
American flights from Los Angeles to more than 15 cities
throughout the United States including New York, San Francisco,
Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and
Washington D.C..
Flights are on sale now for travel
beginning 10 September 2012.
“This new codeshare partnership with one of the
largest airline’s in the world will considerably improve the
visibility of Tahiti in North America,” said Etienne Howan,
Chairman and CEO of Air Tahiti Nui. “It will also make it easier
for tourists to discover our beautiful and romantic islands of
Tahiti, Moorea or Bora Bora, only eight hours from Los Angeles.
Tahitian passengers will also benefit from fast and easy
connections across the United States.”
