Delta Air Lines has suspended its code-sharing partnership with Russian national airline Aeroflot that allows customers to book flights on both carriers. “We have removed our code from Aeroflot-operated services beyond Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport and removed Aeroflot’s code from Delta-operated services from Los Angeles and New York-JFK,” the Atlanta-based company said in a statement. The decision took effect immediately on Friday’s announcement and followed Britain’s ban on Aeroflot flights after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. kob.com
