American Airlines, a founding member of the global one world ® Alliance , today announced a new reciprocal frequent flyer agreement with Jet Airways (India) Limited.

The frequent flyer agreement, which takes effect today, now allows members of American’s AAdvantage ® program to accrue and redeem miles when traveling on any eligible Jet Airways flights. Members of the Jet Privilege program will be able to accrue and redeem miles on any eligible American Airlines, American Eagle and American Connection flights.

“We’re pleased to add Jet Airways as another option for our AAdvantage members to earn and redeem miles,” said Rob Friedman, President – AAdvantage Marketing Programs. “Jet Airways is a fast-growing, world-class airline that will provide our customers more choices than ever. We’re also delighted to welcome members of the Jet Privilege program on board our American flights.”

American and Jet Airways last week began a previously announced codesharing agreement. Under this relationship, American places its AA designator code on Jet Airways flights to certain cities in India beyond the Jet Airways Delhi hub. American flies nonstop between its Chicago hub and Delhi .

In turn, Jet Airways places its 9W designator code on certain American Airlines domestic flights out of New York ’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

In addition, American and Jet Airways will codeshare and cooperate on traffic between the United States and India that connects at Brussels Airport.
