Etihad and Kuwait Airways agree codeshare

Etihad Airways and Kuwait Airways have signed a codeshare agreement on flights between Kuwait and Abu Dhabi.

The deal comes into effect on February 1 and sees Etihad place its EY code on Kuwait Airways’ weekly services between Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, while Kuwait Airways will place its KU code on the 19 weekly services operated by Etihad between the two capital cities.

Etihad chief executive James Hogan said: “As well as providing air travellers with a greater choice of flights between the UAE and Kuwait, this new code share agreement will also provide customers of both our airlines with greater access to each other’s expanding global networks.”
