From the Frequent Flyer Crier:
American Airlines and 4 members of the Qualiflyer group of
airlines (Swissair, Sabena, Crossair and Turkish Airlines) have
started frequent flyer program cooperation.
Under the arrangement, AAdvantage members earn mileage credit
when traveling on non-transatlantic flights operated by Sabena,
Swissair, Crossair and Turkish Airlines (excluding Turkish
flights within Turkey). AAdvantage members may also earn mileage
credit when traveling on one of Swissair's or Sabena's
transatlantic flights if it is a codeshare flight and the
passenger is booked under American's AA code and flight number.
AAdvantage members may redeem travel awards on all flights
operated by Sabena, Swissair, Crossair and Turkish Airlines.
Qualiflyer members may earn mileage credit and redeem travel
