Etihad Airways and TAP Air Portugal have entered into a strategic codeshare agreement, enhancing connectivity for passengers across both airlines on various destinations within their respective networks.
This collaboration reflects Etihad’s ongoing commitment to fortify Abu Dhabi’s cultural and economic development by welcoming more guests to its home, providing them with enhanced travel benefits and memorable experiences.
Through this partnership, Etihad customers gain convenient one-stop access to a diverse range of captivating destinations in the TAP network, including iconic cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, as well as San Francisco and Miami in the USA. Additionally, enchanting locations such as São Tomé and the picturesque European cities of Madeira, Malaga, Seville, and Valencia, along with African destinations like Marrakech and Dakar, are accessible through this collaboration.
The codeshare simplifies the travel experience for guests, allowing them to make a single booking with a streamlined check-in process and the added convenience of having their baggage seamlessly transferred to their final destination.
Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue Officer, expressed, “This collaboration offers our guests convenient access to 26 of TAP’s fantastic leisure and business destinations. It expands choices for TAP customers traveling from Europe to Abu Dhabi, enabling them to explore our home’s inviting hospitality and rich culture while seamlessly connecting to select destinations in the GCC and Seychelles.”
TAP’s Chief Revenue Officer, Mario Cruz, added, “The codeshare agreement enhances the diversity and quality of the travel experience for customers of both airlines. The complementary destination networks through this agreement align with TAP’s growth and expansion strategy, and we are pleased to have established this partnership with Etihad.”
The agreement, effective from December 5, 2023, follows Etihad’s commencement of non-stop services to Lisbon earlier in the year, allowing customers from both airlines to connect through Frankfurt and London Heathrow. This collaboration not only facilitates access to Etihad’s network but also makes it more convenient for visitors to explore Abu Dhabi’s attractions, from the architectural marvel of the Louvre Abu Dhabi to thrilling adventures at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.
