CO codeshares changing: a sign of the times?
I can't find a newish thread on this, so here goes...
I heard a whie back that CO were axing their codeshares with DL/NW from July (haven't checked, though) but I recently checked out a CO GLA-NYC run and got an option (as well as the direct GLA-EWR) GLA-LHR-EWR with bmi. Used to get GLA-AMS-EWR with KL for short hop. Are CO shifting now towards their future *A partners?
CO codeshares for KL147x are still showing at GLA, though.

Hi YRH,
Indeed, codesharing for CO on DL/NW ended late July.
Now that the entry date for CO into * has been published (27 October), you will see more changes coming.
Cheers,

Hmmm, I'm not sure shifting mini-hub from AMS to LHR is a positive step forward, other things aside.
CO have many hooks in Europe, so they can probably pick and choose codeshare partners to an extent.

Plus, code-sharing is much less relevant these days. It used to be meaningful in terms of being able to ticket and manage multi-carrier itineraries. Now it is just another number listed on the schedule.
