Emirates and Etihad expand interline partnership

Sunday, 05 May, 2023 0

UAE carriers Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways have signed an agreement to expand their interline partnership.

It will provide more flight options for travelers visiting the UAE.

This first of its kind agreement aims to boost tourism to the UAE from key source markets allowing visitors to experience two or more destinations .

This summer, customers of each airline will be able to book a single ticket to fly into either Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

It enables one-stop ticketing for the full journey and single baggage check-in.

In the initial stages, each carrier will focus on attracting visitors to the UAE by developing inbound interline traffic from select points in Europe and China.

The ‘open jaw’ arrangement allows visitors to explore Abu Dhabi, Dubai or any other emirate.

Travellers also have the option of ‘multi-city flights’, with the choice to travel from one city on both carriers’ networks, and returning to another point served by either Emirates or Etihad.

The MoU was signed at the recent Arabian Travel Market.

Emirates currently serves the UK with 126 weekly flights.

This includes six daily flights to Heathrow; double daily service to Stansted; and three times daily service to Gatwick.

It also flies three times daily to Manchester; double daily service to Birmingham; and daily services to Newcastle and Glasgow.
