Etihad Airways and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) have announced plans for a codeshare agreement, which will come into effect from the end of December.
The move comes shortly after Etihad began flying from its Abu Dhabi base to Copenhagen in Denmark. This new four-times weekly route started on 29 September.
Arik De, Etihad’s chief revenue officer, said the codeshare would allow “more seamless travel for our guests from Northern Europe to enjoy Abu Dhabi, and to connect with our growing global network”.
“This agreement is just the latest in our mission to strengthen Abu Dhabi’s cultural and economic growth by welcoming more guests to our home enjoying enhanced travel benefits and greater treasured experiences,” added De.
Paul Verhagen, SAS’s chief commercial officer, said: “This partnership expands the choices available to SAS customers for journeys to Abu Dhabi and beyond, with connections to India, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and more.
“We will continue to enhance international connectivity and remain committed to our promise of providing seamless travel experiences to our customers.”
The agreement includes a reciprocal partnership for earning miles with each carriers’ loyalty programmes – Etihad Guest and SAS’s EuroBonus – for all flights across both networks.
