American Airlines and IndiGo had in September announced that they have entered into a codeshare agreement which allows the former to sell seats - on its distribution system - of the Indian carrier's flights operating on 29 routes.

The Texas-based carrier resumed its New York-Delhi flight on November 12 after a gap of 10 years.American Airlines' Managing Director (Sales) Tom Lattig said that the carrier's Seattle-Bengaluru flight would start flying from March 25 instead of January 4 as was announced before.

"We have not seen much corporate travel recovery yet. We know that route (Seattle-Bengaluru) in particular will depend heavily on corporate traffic and we have made the decision to push the date," he mentioned.
