American Airlines (AA) announced it has applied to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) for authorization to begin code-share cooperation with Royal Jordanian. The application proposes that code-sharing operations begin on March 25, 2007.

 Under the proposal, Royal Jordanian would place its RJ designator code on 15 of American’s key domestic routes out of New York’s JFK International Airport, as well as to and from American’s hub at Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

In turn, American would place its AA designator code on Royal Jordanian flights to Amman from Chicago, New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt. Other code-shared flights on Royal Jordanian would include flights from Amman to Aqaba and Dubai.

American Airlines is the world's largest airline. American, American Eagle and the AmericanConnection® airlines serve 250 cities in over 40 countries, with more than 4,000 daily flights. The combined network fleet numbers more than 1,000 aircraft.
