Delta Air suspends marketing alliance with Russia’s Aeroflot

Bloomberg

Delta Air Lines Inc suspended a marketing agreement with Aeroflot, Russia’s national airline, after the country invaded Ukraine.
Withdrawal of the code-sharing accord, an industry practice that enables passengers to book a multicarrier trip through one airline, is effective immediately, Delta said. The suspension means Delta will no longer book passengers flying through Los Angeles and New York on Aeroflot. Nor will Aeroflot be able to book passengers in Russia on Delta flights.
The two carriers are members of the SkyTeam global
alliance, which said it’s monitoring events in Ukraine and is in contact with members to assess the situation.
