The strategic partnership between American and JetSMART launched in 2023 with codeshare itineraries between the United States and Chile and recently expanded to flights in Peru and Argentina. Together, the airlines are creating the broadest network in North and South America, offering more ways for customers to earn and use their miles. The partnership enables American to strengthen and expand its South American network, uniquely providing customers with enhanced travel options and ultra-low fares.
“From the beginning, we have been innovators in South American aviation, offering ultra-low fares and an extensive route network, often connecting cities for the first time. By deepening our partnership with American, we are continuing to make history, furthering our mission of bringing air travel to every corner of the continent. Our customers will now be able to earn miles when they fly on the JetSMART network and connect to American’s global network. As the fastest-growing airline in South America, this alliance strengthens our position as we work toward our vision of reaching 100 million passengers and 100 aircraft by 2028,” said Estuardo Ortiz, CEO of JetSMART.
Started in 1981 to reward frequent flyers, AAdvantage® is the longest-running travel rewards program in the world. Now, the program gives members unparalleled experiences, more ways to earn and use miles and more rewards and status benefits. For more information on how to earn miles through the AAdvantage® program, customers can visit aa.com or JetSMART.com.
“This alliance is a significant step for JetSMART, with the ‘SMART’ part of our name now representing the adoption of the best travel rewards program, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. While American has established partnerships with other airlines in the past, this is the first time another airline — JetSMART — is adopting AAdvantage® as its loyalty program. This not only expands the benefits offered to our passengers but also positions JetSMART as a key player in the regional market,” explained Víctor Mejía, CCO of JetSMART.
