Dubai: Etihad Airways is to extend further its network by providing its customers with greater access to the Indian sub-continent, following the signing of a new code-share agreement with Jet Airways.
Under the deal, which comes into effect on July 1, the Abu Dhabi-based airline will place its two-letter 'EY' code on all of Jet Airways' daily services between the Indian carrier's two hub airports, Delhi and Mumbai, and Etihad's own home base. In turn, Jet Airways will place its '9W' code on the daily services operated by Etihad on the same routes.
In the case of Etihad, the new code-share arrangements between Abu Dhabi and the Indian cities of Delhi and Mumbai will provide additional connection opportunities for its passengers travelling to India from key destinations on the Abu Dhabi-based airline's network, including Damascus, Beirut and Jeddah as well as Geneva, Munich, Manchester, New York and Toronto.
The code-share agreement will also see Jet Airways place its code on Etihad's daily service between Abu Dhabi and Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram, to provide the Indian airline's Kerala-based customers with access to Abu Dhabi and the rest of Etihad's network.
