Etihad Airways and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) have signed a codeshare agreement which will provide travellers with enhanced connections between the UAE, Pakistan and beyond.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways will place its EY code on PIA flights, whereas PIA's PK code will be placed on Etihad Airways' flights between Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Abu Dhabi.
Also, PK code will be added to Etihad Airways' flights from Abu Dhabi to many of the global destinations operated by Etihad Airways.
"Our unique partner strategy has been highly successful and we are pleased to add Pakistan International Airlines to our growing list of successful code share partners," said Kevin Knight, Etihad Airways' Chief Strategy and Planning Officer.
"This is indeed a great opportunity for PIA to join hands with Etihad Airways, connecting Pakistan to UAE and around the globe, expanding reach to more destinations for the convenience of valued passengers," said Khurram Mushtaq, Director Marketing of Pakistan International Airlines.
The first travel date will be July 27, 2015. This will facilitate travellers with a choice of more than 70 destinations.
