US Airways Group Inc. and South African Airways have reached a code-share agreement after receiving approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Department of Transport-South Africa.
Code-sharing allows the use of a single ticket, one-stop check-in and coordinated baggage handling between two airlines.
US Airways customers will gain access to South African Airways’ hub in Johannesburg as well as connections to the South Africa cities of Cape Town, Durban, East London and Port Elizabeth as a result of the agreement. Travelers on South African Airways will have options to fly to various U.S. destinations through US Airways’ hub cities of Charlotte, Philadelphia and Phoenix. An added route to Dakar, Senegal, is pending government approval.
