United, Shanghai Airlines sign code-share agreement
United Airlines Tuesday signed a code-share agreement with Shanghai Airlines taking advantage of 2004’s bilateral aviation agreement between the United States and China.
United routes listed under the agreement include Shanghai to Chicago and San Francisco; San Francisco to Los Angeles, Newark and New York (John F. Kennedy International Airport); and Chicago to Newark and New York (LaGuardia International Airport). Shanghai Airlines flights included in the agreement depart from Pudong International Airport in Shanghai to Shenyang, Chengdu, Dalian and Qingdao.
Pending U.S. government approval, the 11 code-share flights covered by the agreement are scheduled to commence May 15.
