American Airlines has suspended codesharing with LEVEL, the low cost transatlantic carrier within IAG, parent of British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus.
Currently American codeshares with LEVEL between Barcelona and Boston, New York JFK, Los Angeles and San Francisco. However that has to be put on ice, because the carrier is transitioning from being operated by Iberia simply as a brand to being its own standalone airline.

LEVEL has 7 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, in a varietty of configurations. Premium economy is their top cabin, and their planes hold between 275 and 311 total passengers. You’ll pay separately for everything from seat selection, to full-size carry-ons, and to inflight meals.

As part of the transition, IAG has assigned majority (50.1%) ownership to the Iberia subsidiary, so that it could be ‘Spanish-owned’.
And since it’s moving to its own air operator’s certificate, it’s going to have to go through audits (including safety audits) and it must pass those before American can codeshare with it. Then it’ll operate under IATA code LL rather than Iberia’s IB.

Here’s the internal detail from American Airlines:
So American Airlines passengers booked on their codeshares with LEVEL in May need to be rebooked. That means they’re getting an upgrade – by not flying LEVEL.
