Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways (EY), the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt air have expressed their commitment to deepening their partnership by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

This agreement is set to enhance commercial and operational cooperation, offering travelers more choices, better services, and greater value.

The current codeshare agreement allows customers of both airlines to enjoy improved connectivity to various destinations within each other’s networks, between Egypt and the UAE, and beyond Cairo into Africa, as well as beyond Abu Dhabi into Asia. The new understanding enables passengers to book their entire journey on a single ticket and have their baggage checked through to their final destination seamlessly.

According to EY press release, the MoU will further extend the codeshare arrangement, providing MS passengers with one-stop access to more destinations in EY's network, including several locations in Asia and Australia. Similarly, it will grant EY customers seamless access to additional destinations in the MS network, building on the routes already included in the current agreement.
