Etihad will forge more codeshares to return to profitability, group CEO says - The National:
The UAE national airline Etihad Airways plans to forge new codeshare partnerships with airlines around the world as it continues an operational review to narrow losses in 2018 and bring the carrier back to profitability and sustainable growth, Etihad Aviation Group’s global chief executive, Tony Douglas said.
The move follows the “delisting” of the Etihad by the Star Alliance – one of the world’s largest airline alliances – during the International Air Transport Association’s annual conference in Sydney last month, allowing 40 members of the alliance to engage with Etihad on codeshare deals, according to Mr Douglas
“In the past, the Etihad Group was identified as being an alliance itself and, consequently, under the rules of Star Alliance, its members were not allowed to engage in collaboration with us on codeshares,” Mr Douglas told The National on Tuesday.
