Etihad, TAP Air Portugal seal airline codeshare partnership
Etihad Airways and TAP Air Portugal have inked a strategic airline codeshare, to enhance connectivity.
The partnership will provide Etihad’s customers with easy one-stop access to a variety of destinations across the TAP network.
These include cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, as well as San Francisco and Miami.
It also includes the African resort island of São Tomé and customers can also connect with Madeira, Malaga, Seville, and Valencia in Europe, as well as Marrakech and Dakar in Africa.
The airline codeshare enables journeys on both carriers on a single booking with one check-in process at the start and baggage transferred to their final destination.
Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue Officer said: “This collaboration provides our guests with convenient one-stop access to 26 of TAP’s leisure and business destinations.”
“Equally, it expands the choices available to TAP customers travelling from Europe to Abu Dhabi, and connecting to a selection of our destinations in the GCC and Seychelles.
The agreement follows the start of Etihad’s non-stop services to Lisbon earlier this year.
It enables both Etihad and TAP customers to connect to each other’s network through Frankfurt and London Heathrow.
