Etihad Airways and PIA have signed a codeshare agreement to provide travelers with enhanced connections to the two countries and beyond.
Etihad Airways will place its EY code on PIA flights between Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Abu Dhabi. In return, PIA’s PK code will be placed on Etihad Airways’ flights between Abu Dhabi and Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore; and the PK code will also be added to Etihad Airways’ flights from Abu Dhabi to many of the global destinations operated by Etihad Airways. Flights can be booked from June 30, 2015 via travel agents or through the airlines’ sales offices and contact centers. The first travel date will be July 27, 2015. This will facilitate travelers with a choice of more than 70 destinations.
Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways’ chief strategy and planning officer, said: “Our unique partner strategy has been highly successful. There is a long and proud history of travel between Abu Dhabi and cities across Pakistan, and this new codeshare agreement will make that experience, as well as travel onwards to Africa, Europe, and the US, that much easier.”
Khurram Mushtaq, director of marketing for Pakistan International Airlines, termed it as “a great opportunity for PIA to join hands with Etihad Airways, connecting Pakistan to the UAE and around the globe, and expanding reach to more destinations for the convenience of valued passengers.”
