British Airways, Kingfisher to announce a codeshare agreement

Mumbai/New Delhi: Premier airlines, British Airways and Kingfisher Airlines, are likely to announce a codeshare agreement next month which would facilitate seamless travel for passengers, who can also enjoy benefits while travelling on each other's networks.
An official announcement to this effect is expected to be made during the visit of British Airways CEO Willie Walsh to India early September, sources close to the development told PTI.
Codeshare allows an airline to book air tickets for its customers on its partner carriers. The frequent flyers of one airline can earn mileage points while travelling on the other's network.
The BA prefix would be added to flights by the Indian carrier to various points across the Indian sub-continent, while Kingfisher's IT designator would be placed on services operated by the UK carrier to key cities in Europe.
