I was wondering if flights offered via other airlines in the Sky Alliance are considered to be code share as well or are they completly seperate operations/ flights that we could not fly?

A code share flight is a flight operated by one airline, but can be purchased on multiple airlines within the alliance (SkyTeam). This allows passengers to purchase tickets to a wider variety of locations on one airline. Hope this helped.

HTats what I thought but many of our sky alliance partners and routes do not seem to be listed so i was just curious if it was due to the fact they are not code share partners just memberof he sky team.

Alex, not every flight operated by a SkyTeam alliance member is codeshared with us. For example, there may be flights operated by Air France that we can fly but there are also routes that they have but they do not codeshare so we cannot fly them.

Steve, go to your pilot center, click "Find a Flight", and then you can see a drop down list for all of the airlines we codeshare with.
