In a newly formed trilateral agreement, British Airways, American Airlines & Iberia anounce a codesharing scheme aimed at delivering better price, availability and more convenient connections between Europe and North America. This new initiative is set to be launched in April 2011 and allows the Oneworld alliance to be able to compete more effectively against other aligned global carriers. This combined route network will allow passengers to travel more easily to over 105 countries with 5,200 departures daily.
