Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines have extended their codeshare agreement within North America.
Beginning yesterday, Virgin's VS code now appears on a further 91 internal US routes operated by Delta, with an additional eight codeshares to be added in summer 2014.
The 91 extra Delta routes carrying the VS code all depart from Atlanta, Boston, Detroit or Minneapolis. The move brings the number of Delta / Virgin codeshare routes to 180.
The eight new codeshare routes to be added this summer all depart Seattle and include a service to London Heathrow.
A full list of services can be seen at airlineroute.net.
In November, the two carriers revealed how they will align their services at Heathrow ahead of their transatlantic joint venture, which begins this summer (see news, November 11).
