In a show of solidarity with the good people of Ukraine currently being invaded by Russia, Delta has immediately ended its codeshare relationship with Russian national flag carrier Aeroflot.
Per Delta:
“Delta has withdrawn our codeshare services operated in conjunction with Russian national airline, Aeroflot, effective immediately.
We have removed our code from Aeroflot-operated services beyond Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport and removed Aeroflot’s code from Delta-operated services from Los Angeles and New York-JFK. Accommodations will be made for customers affected by these changes.”
Meanwhile, Aeroflot remains in SkyTeam, for now (I’m not sure if that means one could still book Aeroflot with Skymiles) but I have a feeling that SkyTeam may take its own action soon enough.
Notably, Aeroflot has also been banned from UK airspace, though the US has not yet enacted a similar measure. As of now, Aeroflot still flies to the US.
