Etihad Airways Announces Codeshare Agreement with Hong Kong Airlines

    Two Etihad Airways Models With New Livery at Heathrow Airport T4 Roundabout/Etihad Airways

    Etihad Airways continues to build strategic partnerships with airlines around the world.  The latest development in its global strategy is the announcement of a codesharing agreement with Hong Kong Airlines, pending regulatory approval. Together, the partners will provide enhanced connections between Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

    “Codeshares are a fundamental part of Etihad Airways’ long-term growth strategy and we are delighted to sign this agreement with Hong Kong Airlines,” said Kevin Knight, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer at Etihad Airways.  “Our partnership will result in multiple benefits for both airlines and, importantly, there are considerable advantages for travellers as well, such as enhanced connections and a more frequent service between the various destinations covered.”

    Once approved, Etihad Airways will place its ‘EY’ code on Hong Kong Airlines’ flights between Hong Kong and Bangkok, which will allow business and leisure travellers to book a trip between Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi, via Thailand’s capital. The code will also appear on fights between Hong Kong and Okinawa, Japan.

    Hong Kong Airlines will place an ‘HX’ code on Etihad Airways’ triple-daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Bangkok, with two additional routes connecting Abu Dhabi to Madrid starting 29 March 2015 and to Hong Kong starting 15 June 2015.

    Li Dianchun, Commercial Director of Hong Kong Airlines, said: “We are glad to partner with Etihad Airways, which enables our passengers to enjoy a wider range of choices. Both airlines are renowned for their world-class product and service offering and through our new partnership, we will successfully cater to increasing traffic flows between key travel markets in Asia, the Middle East and Europe.”

    Codeshare flights will be available for booking starting 23 December 2014, with travel commencing on 6 January 2015, or the scheduled launch dates for the cities mentioned earlier.
