Links between key oneworld hubs improved: Links between a number of key oneworld hubs are being improved by the alliance’s carriers, smoothing connections between their networks and making it even easier to reach more places around the world.
- Amman-Budapest: Royal Jordanian is to launch the first ever scheduled services between its Amman home and the Budapest hub of fellow new oneworld member Malév Hungarian Airlines, improving connections between its own network, which serves more points in the Middle East than any other airline, and that of Malév, with its excellent coverage across Central and Eastern Europe. It will operate two flights a week initially, from 28 July, both of them also carrying the Malév flight prefix under a new code-sharing agreement between the two carriers.
- Helsinki-Hong Kong: Finnair is now connecting its Helsinki home with Cathay Pacific’s Hong Kong hub non-stop, with frequencies on the route increased to daily. Previously the airline flew between the two cities three times weekly, with a stop at Bangkok.
- Santiago-New York JFK/Los Angeles: LAN has upgraded links between its Santiago base and both New York JFK and Los Angeles with the launch of new non-stops – three and five a week respectively. It will continue its one-stops on both routes, via Lima – six a week to New York and two weeklies to Los Angeles. Meantime, the airline is also adding another three frequencies a week between Santiago and Miami, giving ten weeklies.
- Santiago-Sydney: Passengers flying across the South Pacific from Santiago to Sydney will soon have a choice of oneworld airlines, with Qantas to launch its own services on the route, alongside LAN, from November next year, using Boeing 747-400s.
