United Airlines and Dubai's Emirates are set to announce codeshare agreement in the coming weeks, a source told Reuters.

United on Tuesday sent an invitation to reporters to a "special event" on Sept. 14 titled "Come fly with us" with CEO Scott Kirby and Emirates President Tim Clark in Washington.

The Air Current reported the expected announcement earlier. United did not immediately comment, while Emirates did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After receiving government approvals, a codeshare would allow both airlines customers to access to additional destinations that each do not currently not serve.
