Etihad Airways and Egyptair expand codeshare
Etihad Airways and Egyptair are deepening their partnership.
They signed a new Memorandum of Understanding to bolster commercial and operational ties.
This will provide their customers with more choice and increased value, they say.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “This agreement will help further deepen our airline codeshare with Egyptair, opening up seamless travel for guests of both airlines across our networks.”
“It also lays the tracks for cooperation across both our frequent flyer programs and will enable us to explore collaboration on joint-marketing campaigns.”
The existing airline codeshare agreement gives customers of both airlines enhanced connectivity between Egypt and the UAE.
It also extends beyond Cairo into Africa and beyond Abu Dhabi into Asia.
The agreement enables guests to book their entire journey on a single ticket with baggage checked through to the end destination.
This MoU will see the airline codeshare extended, giving one-stop access for Egyptair travellers to more of Etihad’s network in addition to several destinations in Asia and Australia.
Equally it gives Etihad customers access to further destinations on Egyptair’s network.
Yehia Zakaria, Chairman & CEO at Egyptair, said: “This strengthens our strategic for a seamless travel experience and access to a wider network.”
“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.”
