Etihad Airways announces new structure with equity airlines | GulfNews.com:



"Etihad Airways announced a new partnership structure on Wednesday that will open its joint-purchasing programmes to non-equity airlines for the first time. The airline said members of the new “Etihad Airways Partners” structure will save costs through codeshare agreements, joint procurement and staff training at Etihad’s facilities.



Initial members are Air Berlin, Air Serbia, Air Seychelles, Jet Airways and Etihad Regional (formerly Darwin Airline) — all airlines that Etihad holds stakes in — along with the Abu Dhabi carrier.



Airlines that sign up to the formal structure will carry an “Etihad Airways Partners” logo on their aircraft and branded materials."
