Alaska Airlines puts on hold deal with S7 Airlines of Russia

Alaska Airlines has put a short term hold on its arrangements with the Russian airline S7 the American firm released today. 

Bowing to strong demand both internal and external,  the airline issued a brief statement saying, 

"Starting today, March 1, our guests will not be able to earn miles on S7. Our ongoing work to enable redemptions on S7 will also stop.

Alaska Airlines has also suspended its limited interline relationships with S7 and Aeroflot, the largest carrier in Russia."

 Interlining allows passengers on one airline to be ticketed on another carrier for various reasons, including bad weather, late arrivals or departures and mileage recoupment.

Alaska says the suspension of the partnership is only temporary but has refused to disclose how long that actually is for, however, sources close to the airline have indicated the deal is on hold until 8th March initially.
