Etihad Airways Boeing 787-inflight
Abu
Dhabi, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – Etihad Airways and Swiss International Air
Lines (SWISS) have launched a new codeshare partnership with bookings effective
immediately.
Under
the agreement, Etihad Airways will have its EY flight code on SWISS services
between Geneva and Zurich, two key gateway cities served in Switzerland from
Abu Dhabi.
SWISS will market its
LX code on Etihad Airways’ services between Zurich and Abu Dhabi, offering its
passengers codeshare flights to and from the UAE’s capital city. The codeshare
services are bookable now, for travel from 26 March.
Peter Baumgartner,
Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer, said: “This codeshare deepens Etihad
Airways’ commitment to the Swiss travel market and Switzerland, a key
destination for travellers from our UAE home, neighbouring Gulf countries, and
across our Asia Pacific network. The partnership further strengthens the
historic cultural, business and tourism ties that the UAE and Switzerland have
enjoyed over many decades.
“For travellers from Switzerland, our new
relationship with SWISS will provide access to Etihad’s award-winning service
and the hospitality for which our Abu Dhabi home is known.”
The new agreement is
part of the codeshare cooperation which began in 2016 between the Lufthansa
Group, of which Swiss is part, and Etihad Aviation Group.
Etihad Airways operates
the technologically advanced Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on its daily flights from
Abu Dhabi to Zurich. Both airlines’ customers will experience acclaimed inflight
service and award-winning cabin interiors, including 28 Business Studios, and 271
Economy Smart Seats.
