Etihad and EgyptAir extend codeshares...

Airlines will also share frequent flyer cooperation

The UAE’s national carrier Etihad Airways has agreed to terms with EgyptAir, signing a Memorandum of Understanding that will see codeshares between the two airlines extended.

The existing codeshare agreement provides customers of both airlines with improved connectivity to destinations across each other’s networks, spanning from Egypt to the UAE and beyond Cairo into Africa, as well as beyond Abu Dhabi into Asia.

The agreement enables guests to book their entire journey on a single ticket and have their baggage checked through seamlessly to their end destination.

Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, Antonoaldo Neves said: "This agreement will help further deepen our codeshare with EgyptAir opening up seamless travel for guests of both airlines across our networks.

“It also lays the tracks for co-operation across both our frequent flyer programs and will enable us to explore collaboration on joint-marketing campaigns and promotions designed to stimulate and reward our customers."

EgyptAir Chairman and CEO, Yehia Zakaria added: “I am confident that this partnership with Etihad Airways will not only benefit our passengers but also foster a stronger relationship between Egypt and United Arab Emirates. We look forward to a successful collaboration, soaring to new heights together.”

The partnership between Etihad and EgyptAir comes in the same week Riyadh Air also signed an MoU with the Egyptian carrier.
