Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways has opened routes for the first time to destinations in Scandinavia following the expansion of its existing codeshare agreement with Brussels Airlines of Belgium.
Under the deal, which comes into effect on October 6, the Abu Dhabi-based airline will place its two-letter 'EY' code on Brussels Airlines' flights from the Belgium capital to Oslo in Norway, Stockholm and Gothenburg in Sweden, Helsinki in Finland and Copenhagen in Denmark.
In turn, the extended codeshare agreement will give Scandinavian air travellers access, via Brussels, to Etihad's home base of Abu Dhabi and to nearly 50 destinations on the airline's global network, which covers the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.
Etihad operates four flights a week to Brussels: On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
