Jet's code share with Air France-KLM

Mumbai: Jet Airways has entered into code share pacts with Air France-KLM enabling the European airlines to sell tickets on Jet's domestic routes.
Etihad Airways which is picking up 24% stake in Jet Airways already has a code share agreement with Air France-KLM but is not a member of any airline grouping such Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam.
Star Alliance is keen to rope in Jet Airways along with Air India. Air India's membership to the alliance has been put on hold while Jet too sought government approval to join the alliance.
Jet Airways had sought approval to enter into a code share partnership with Lufthansa which is a founding member of Star Alliance.
An aviation source said the marketing tie up with Air France-KLM suggests that Jet Airways is going the SkyTeam way. SkyTeam members also include Delta Airlines, Korean Air, Kenya Airways, Saudia Airlines amongst others.
