TAM and Lufthansa are going to initiate their codeshare agreement on domestic and international routes on 18-Aug-08.
This partnership will allow the two companies to offer more choices of flights to passengers flying between Brazil and Germany, as well as for connections in the two countries. Flights to destinations included in this agreement are already available on the ticket sales systems of both companies.
With this codeshare agreement, TAM clients can purchase their tickets for flights operated by Lufthansa departing from São Paulo to Frankfurt and Munich (Germany). Connections are available leaving from Frankfurt to other destinations in Germany such as Berlin, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Munich.
Lufthansa passengers, for their part, can take the daily TAM flight between Frankfurt and São Paulo and, in Brazil, make connections to Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Curitiba and Porto Alegre.
TAM's Vice President for Planning and Alliances, Paulo Castello Branco states, "The synergy of services between TAM and Lufthansa will make it possible for the two companies to expand the advantages offered to customers, stimulating the traffic of passengers between Brazil and Germany."
Götz Ahmelmann, Vice President for Alliances, Strategies and Participations at Lufthansa Passage, said, "The codeshare agreement with TAM as our strong partner allows our passengers to avail themselves of immediate connections in Brazil. The passenger can make the reservation to the final destination, and there are more flights to choose from."
