South Korea’s flag carrier Korea Air Line and Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. have agreed to sharply expand code-share arrangements to more than 159 routes from current 32.

The new code-sharing routes would start running from Nov. 2, Korean Air said in a statement on Thursday.

A code share agreement is an arrangement between two or more airlines that share the same flight, in which each of the participating airlines can sell seats on a code-sharing flight.

The arrangement would allow KAL customers to directly fly from Incheon to Atlanta and to Sao Paolo from Atlanta. Delta in return will get access to Taipei, Osaka, Singapore, Nagoya and Okinawa.

The two have been on the same SkyTeam alliance since 2000.

Delta is said to be mulling to shift the transfer airport in Asia from Narita in Japan to Incheon.
