"American Airlines and Air Tahiti Nui today announced a bilateral codeshare agreement and applied for approval by the U.S. Department of Transportation", according to this PRNewswire article,
as carried by Yahoo!. Excerpt:
When approved, the codeshare agreement will allow American to place its code on Air Tahiti Nui flights between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Papeete Faa'a International Airport (PPT) and will allow Air Tahiti Nui to place its code on American flights from Los Angeles to more than 15 cities throughout the United States including New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami and Washington - Dulles and Reagan National.
Not the LAX-CDG or other flights, just LAX-PPT.
Better than nothing I guess.
