Etihad Airways has announced its code-share partnership with JetBlue Airways in New York. This partnership will certainly witness an enhanced presence for Etihad in the US market.
The agreement, which is subject to government approval, will see Etihad Airways place its ‘EY’ code on JetBlue-operated flights, initially facilitating connections between the two airlines at New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Washington’s Dulles International Airport (IAD).
In the first stage of partnership, Etihad Airways will code-share on 40 JetBlue routes within the US. Further code-share services are planned on JetBlue flights once Etihad Airways commences daily flights to Los Angeles from June 2014. Subject to US and foreign government approval, Etihad also plans to code-share on JetBlue flights between New York and select destinations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Colombia.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ president and chief executive officer, said: “The US is a major and growing market for Etihad Airways and this partnership with JetBlue will enable us to offer our guests more options for travel within and beyond the US. In addition to New York and Washington, we also fly daily to Chicago. We recently announced a second daily flight between Abu Dhabi, and New York City, and will start flights to Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth in June and December this year.”
