JetSMART and American Airlines officially launch their strategic alliance with the sale of codeshare flights between the United States and Chile, launching the largest route network in the Americas and access to a travel benefits program for customers of both companies.
The alliance includes an extensive partnered route network, as well as mid-term access for JetSMART customers to American Airlines' AAdvantage loyalty program. The alliance includes a minority investment by American Airlines in JetSMART, which will help the company's development in South America. With this agreement, JetSMART will have an impetus to expand in Latin America and contribute to the regional economy through greater dynamism in tourism and other productive sectors in which air transport is essential.
The sale of tickets to and from the United States – and American's extensive global network – connecting initially with routes in Chile (Santiago, Antofagasta, Concepción and Puerto Montt) is the first in a series of milestones that will unite American's global presence with JetSMART's complementary offer of 77 routes in South America, offering competitive fares and ample options for travelers across the American continent.
Ticket sales began June 1 for flights between the United States and Chile beginning June 15 and can be booked at american website or by calling American Reservations. In the coming weeks, new partnership routes will be made available to travelers from other regions of Chile and Peru. In Argentina, more codeshare routes will be added, subject to government approval.
The AAdvantage loyalty program, which JetSMART expects to later this year, will allow JetSMART and American customers to benefit from special offers, promotions and mileage accrual for engers in various South American markets. The alliance will allow customers to earn more travel rewards and use their miles to access new destinations and exclusive benefits around the world. In 2023, AAdvantage won the Freddie Award for Best Elite Program in the Americas for the eleventh consecutive year. The Points Guy also awarded AAdvantage an Editor's Choice award for loyalty innovation.
Through this alliance, American is able to strengthen and expand its South American network in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay and attract more customers in more markets and give them access to lower fares and travel options.
