United Airlines and Emirates Announce Codeshare Partnership
United Airlines and Emirates will sell seats on each other’s planes, marking a turnaround in the business models of the one-time foes.
As part of the deal, United said it will start flights to Emirates’ hub in Dubai from Newark Liberty International Airport next March.
The codeshare agreement, which the CEOs announced Wednesday, will give the airlines access to the other carrier’s destinations and is the latest example of thawing in the relationship between U.S. and Gulf airlines, particularly as international air travel rebounds from more than two years of the Covid-19 pandemic.
