Etihad Airways is to extend further its expanding global network by providing its customers with access for the first time to destinations in Spain, following the expansion of its existing codeshare agreement with Brussels Airlines of Belgium.
Under the deal, which comes into effect on March 29, the Abu Dhabi-based airline will place its two-letter ‘EY’ code on Brussels Airlines’ flights from the Belgian capital to the Spanish capital city of Madrid as well as the Catalan city of Barcelona. The agreement also includes the city of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
In turn, the extended codeshare agreement will give air travellers from the three European cities access, via Brussels, to Etihad’s home base of Abu Dhabi and beyond it to many international destinations on the airline’s global network in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.
