Etihad and Egyptair sign MoU to “enhance commercial and operational ties”
Etihad Airways and Egyptair have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with plans to “enhance commercial and operational ties to provide travellers with wider choices, higher quality services and increased value”. This MoU will see codeshares between the two airlines extended, giving access for EGYPTAIR travellers to more of Etihad’s network in addition to several destinations in Asia and Australia that already exist. Equally it gives Etihad customers access to further destinations on Egyptair Network, on top of the routes already in scope. Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways, said: ""This agreement will help further deepen our codeshare with EGYPTAIR opening up seamless travel for guests of both airlines across our networks. “It also lays the tracks for co-operation across both our frequent flyer programs and will enable us to explore collaboration on joint-marketing campaigns and promotions designed to stimulate and reward our customers."" Yehia Zakaria, Chairman & CEO at Egyptair, said: “This MoU strengthens our strategic partnership with Etihad Airways, and underscores our commitment to providing our valued customers with a seamless travel experience and access to a wider network. “I am confident that this partnership with Etihad Airways will not only benefit our passengers but also foster a stronger relationship between Egypt and United Arab Emirates. We look forward to a successful collaboration, soaring to new heights together.”
