Alaska Airlines ends codeshares with Singapore Airlines and LATAM; expands other partnerships

While losing two codeshare partners, Alaska has expanded existing partnerships with Starlux Airlines and Icelandair. Previously, Starlux connected Taipei to eight U.S. destinations via Seattle (SEA) and San Francisco (SFO). Under the new agreement, this number has increased to 20 cities accessible through those gateways.

Alaska also enhanced its partnership with Icelandair as they mark 15 years of cooperation. This updated agreement offers greater flexibility for travelers and improved opportunities for earning and redeeming points on both airlines. Coinciding with this announcement is a new direct service by Alaska from Seattle to Reykjavik scheduled to start on May 28, 2026. The daily summer flight will complement Icelandair’s current services from Seattle and provide customers access to over 35 daily connections throughout Europe.

Although Alaska Airlines is still developing its long-haul operations, it provides global connectivity through various alliances and partnerships. As a member of the oneworld alliance, it collaborates closely with other members while maintaining additional codeshare arrangements categorized by benefits such as status recognition or mileage accrual potential.

Beyond full codeshares, Alaska maintains numerous interline agreements that extend network reach even though customers may not earn or redeem points at the same level as they do with primary partners.
