US Airways / Finnair code sharing announced
FWIW

I wonder why they have code shares to European destinations not served by AY, though?

The revenues of transatlantic flights are shared by AA, AY, BA, IB and US, so it really does not make any difference if AY shares a code from ATH, LIS, DUB, EDI, GLA, SNN.

Well, there is one difference. Most OTAs sort search results by price without eliminating codeshare flights. If AY & friends have the lowest price, most OTAs won't show *A and Skyteam flights among the 5-10 cheapest options.
