In May, TAM singed a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Lufthansa to implement codesharing on national and international routes. The agreement links the TAM Fidelity program and the Lufthansa Miles & More; it will also allow the utilization of the VIP rooms in many airports. The companies will announce the gradual implementation of these measures in the coming months.
