British Airways has announced a new codeshare partnership with Mexican low-cost airline Viva, giving customers greater choice and improved connections when travelling between the UK, Europe and Mexico.

The agreement will allow British Airways customers to connect to 13 destinations across Mexico served by Viva, including Guadalajara, Monterrey and Puerto Vallarta, via Mexico City and Cancún.

The destinations will be available to book under a British Airways flight code through ba.com, allowing customers to book their entire journey in one transaction.

The partnership will provide customers travelling from London and across Europe with greater access to destinations throughout Mexico. Equally, passengers travelling from Mexico will be able to connect in London to British Airways' global network of more than 200 destinations.

Viva has carried more than 180 million passengers over its 20-year history and operates a fleet of 110 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. The airline serves more than 60 destinations across Mexico, the US, Colombia, Costa Rica and Cuba.

Neil Chernoff, Chief Planning and Strategy Officer at British Airways, said the partnership would open up more of Mexico to customers and provide greater choice when planning their journeys. He also highlighted the airline's long-standing relationship with Mexico, which it has served for more than 60 years.
