Delta Air Lines Strengthens Relationship with Korean Air
Read MoreHide Full Article
In a bid to expand its presence in Asia, Delta Air Lines (DAL - Free Report) inked a memorandum of understanding with Korean Air to implement a joint venture arrangement. This customer-friendly deal, which becomes effective following regulatory approvals, will see the carriers sharing the costs and revenues on flights apart from coordinating schedules to enhance connectivity between the U.S. and Asia.
In fact, this new trans-Pacific deal has resulted in the formation of a huge network covering in excess of 290 and 80 destinations in the Americas and Asia, respectively. Additionally, it provides benefits to reciprocal frequent flyers as the carriers aim to increase traffic amid increased competition. Notably, both these carriers are among the four founding members of the SkyTeam alliance in 2000.
Delta has been looking to strengthen its Asian presence for quite some time. To this end, it aims to operate non-stop flights connecting Atlanta and Seoul from June. The company will utilize a 291-seat, Boeing 777-200LR aircraft for operating the flights between the two cities. Further, the flights complementing Korean Air’s current operations on this route, are aimed to provide greater choice for travel between the U.S. and China.
In addition, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company had shelled out $450 million to own 3.55% of China Eastern Airlines (CEA - Free Report) , in 2015. In fact, the highly lucrative Asian aviation market has attracted Delta’s rival, American Airlines Group (AAL - Free Report) , too. Recently, American Airlines Group also signed a deal with China Southern Airlines (ZNH - Free Report) to buy a minority stake in the latter.
