ETIHAD AIRWAYS TO CODESHARE WITH ASIANA AIRLINES

Etihad Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with South Korean carrier Asiana Airlines. The codeshare will complement Etihad’s own service to Seoul which commences on 10 December 2010. Flights between Abu Dhabi, Seoul and beyond will operate under an EY (Etihad) and OZ (Asiana) code. The codeshare fares will be available for purchase from mid-November for departure from Etihad’s first Seoul service on 10 December 2010. The carriers also intend to commence reciprocal rewards programs, where members of each airline’s frequent flyer program can earn and redeem points on the codeshare flights.
