The codeshare agreement simplifies the travel experience for guests by enabling a single check-in process at the beginning of their journey and the convenience of transferring their baggage to the final destination.
Arik De, Chief Revenue Officer at Etihad, highlighted the benefits for guests, stating, “This collaboration provides our guests with convenient one-stop access to 26 of TAP’s fantastic leisure and business destinations.” He also emphasized the expansion of choices for TAP customers traveling from Europe to Abu Dhabi, allowing them to explore the hospitality and culture of Abu Dhabi and seamlessly connect to various destinations in the GCC and Seychelles.
