European airlines Eurowings and AEGEAN Airlines have unveiled a new airline codeshare partnership.
The new partnership aims to boost leisure and business travel between Greece and Germany by offering more flight options.
The bilateral airline codeshare agreement offers passengers more options to and from the popular tourist regions of Greece and Germany.
Selected flights operated by AEGEAN, will be bookable under Eurowings flight numbers, while Eurowings flights will also be available under AEGEAN flight numbers.
AEGEAN will place its A3 code on direct flights operated by Eurowings connecting Heraklion (Crete) and Thessaloniki with Eurowings bases in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic.
Eurowings will assign its code to AEGEAN flights serving Athens and Thessaloniki with Germany and the Czech Republic.
The airlines plan to gradually expand the airline codeshare.
Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof said: “The cooperation is part of our European growth strategy and strengthens our position as the largest German leisure airline.”
“The agreement comes at exactly the right time, as we are currently recording the strongest incoming bookings in four years.”
Eurowings has a partnership with Czech airline Smartwings and a sales partnership with Spanish airline Volotea.
