Emirates doubles network through partnership connectivity
In the past year, Emirates has doubled the number of cities it offers via interline and codeshare agreements.
The airline has been unlocking travel options to nearly 1,700 additional cities beyond its own network.
This has enabled an average of over 61,000 passengers to connect on the shared networks of Emirates and its partners every week.
Emirates’ partner collaboration comprises 31 codeshare, 118 interline and 13 rail and helicopter services partners.
Having 162 partners in over 100 countries means an expanded network reach with more and better connections for travellers, it says.
This results in seamless single ticket itineraries, through baggage transfers, frequent flyer benefits and lounge access.
In the last year, Emirates launched 16 new partnerships which include codeshares with Avianca and Batik Air Malaysia.
The airline also finalised and implemented interline arrangements with KAM Air, Sri Lankan Airlines, Condor, Flynas, Viva Aerobus, Sun Express, Maldivian, Siberia Airlines and Kenya Airways.
Emirates’ rail codeshare partnerships extend across Europe with Trenitalia, Spanish Rail Renfe, Austrian Rail OBB and Swedish Rail SJ.
The airline was also the first full-service carrier to enter into an interline partnership with BLADE, an urban air-mobility company to provide Emirates customers with helicopter flights between Nice and Monaco on a single ticket.
Adnan Kazim, Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates said: “We’ve doubled down on our strategy and expanded our footprint across six continents.”
“We’re forging new partnerships with like-minded airlines, rail partners and air mobility operators to provide a huge choice of onwards destinations like never before.”
