American Airlines: Update on our interline agreement with Delta

For many years, it's been common practice for airlines to have interline agreements that help reaccommodate passengers during irregular operations, among other things. In fact, earlier this year, participating airlines across the industry agreed to standardize rates for moving customers between carriers in times of disruption. 

Since then, Delta Air Lines has decided to go outside of that agreement and negotiate an individual agreement with American. We have been unable to come to terms on an agreement with Delta Air Lines and have mutually agreed to end our interline agreement effective September 15. 

We remain committed to taking care of you, our business partners, and of course our mutual travellers. As the world's largest airline, we're able to provide customers with more options than ever before. And with our joint business and oneworld® Alliance partners, plus interline agreements with other airlines like United Airlines and Alaska Airlines, we're able to get customers where they need to be.
