BANGKOK - THAI Airways and Royal Brunei Airlines have signed a code-share deal for flights between the capitals of the two countries, an airline official said on Friday.

The deal takes effect on May 15, and Thai Airways vice-president Pandit Chanapai said more routes could eventually join the code sharing scheme.

'The agreement signifies the beginning of network cooperation between the two carriers,' he said.

Code sharing is an arrangement under which a flight operated by one carrier is jointly marketed by another. -- AFP
