Delta, China Airlines deal

ATLANTA (AFP): Delta Airlines of the United States and China
Southern Airlines on Monday announced a business alliance
covering flights between U.S. and Chinese airports.

Under an agreement known as "code-sharing," Delta will
purchase seats on China Southern's three-times-per-week service
between Los Angeles and Guangzhou, Delta said.

China Southern will purchase seats on Delta flights from Los
Angeles to such cities as Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Las Vegas,
New York, Washington and Miami.

Through code-sharing, which requires government approval,
passengers can travel under a single reservation code on more
than one airline on different portions of a flight.
