In a strategic move, Alaska Airlines has formally ended its Codeshare agreements with LATAM Airlines and Singapore Airlines as of October 1. This move will directly affect the travel advantages that are offered to passengers, like reciprocal loyalty rewards. However, the interline agreements that manage baggage transfers and ticketing between the airlines will also be affected. While the reason behind this decision is not disclosed, Alaska Airlines is aiming to strengthen its international network through expanded services and new partnerships.

The codeshare relationship with Latam and Singapore Airlines was made in 2019 and 2017 which has provided Alaska Airlines passengers with an extended reach across global destinations. This termination is considered the end of the shared flight arrangements and the linked loyalty programs which allowed members to earn and redeem miles across the networks of both Singapore and Latam Airlines.

Alaska Airlines is making New Partnerships

• Alaska Airlines ends codeshare partnerships with LATAM and Singapore Airlines to focus on new routes like Starlux Airlines.
• Being a part of an evolving strategy, Alaska Airlines is now focusing on new partnerships and improving the current ones.
• The airline has partnered with Starlux Airlines and Icelandair which are the two key players in the international routes.

What Travelers Can Expect Due To The Removal Of Existing Codeshare?

Travelers who are enjoying the perks from the Alaska Airlines Codeshare agreements with LATAM Airlines and Singapore Airlines will no longer be able to earn loyalty points with these airlines. However, interline agreements remain intact and allow passengers to continue with their flight reservations and transfer luggage between these two airlines.

Travelers may experience some inconvenience in terms of loyalty rewards and the booking processes. While the Codeshare terminations do not impact the direct flight operations, travelers may face some difficulties with the booking procedure and loyalty benefits. Alaska Airlines has ensured that its Atmos rewards program which it has provided under the collaboration with Hawaiian Airlines, will be a key to focus moving forward and offer new loyalty options for the frequent flyers.

• It also approaches the Alaska Airlines position as a key player in the transatlantic and Asia-Pacific markets, where both Taiwan and Iceland are seeing interest from international flyers.

A Wide Range Of Alliance And Codeshare Partners

• Alaska Airlines has officially ended its codeshare agreements with Singapore Airlines and LATAM.
• Alaska Airlines is still in its infancy for long-flight operations while expanding its fleet and network.
