Air France and Etihad sign codeshare
Air France-KLM and Etihad plan to start a codeshare agreement later this month in the first phase of a closer strategic alliance.
From October 28, Etihad customers will be able to fly on KLM’s daily Amsterdam-Abu Dhabi flight, whilst Air France customers will be able to travel on Etihad’s daily service between Paris and Abu Dhabi.
“Beyond their gateways, this codeshare agreement offers five destinations each to Air France and KLM passengers on the Asian and Australian market and 10 European destinations to Etihad passengers on Air France-KLM,” said Air France-KLM in a statement.
Meanwhile, an agreement between Air France-KLM and Air Berlin will allow customers to fly on routes operated by both airlines between France and Germany.
Etihad bought nearly 30% of Air Berlin last year.
