Etihad Airways customers in Pakistan and around the world will soon be able to fly to two of Greece's leading holiday destinations as well as Romania and Bulgaria for the first time, following the signing of a new code-share agreement with Olympic Air.
Under the deal, Etihad will place its two-letter 'EY' code on services operated by Olympic Air between Athens and Rhodes and Thessaloniki in Greece, the Romanian capital Bucharest, and capital of Bulgaria, Sofia.
In turn, Olympic Air will place its 'OA' code on Etihad's flights between Athens and Abu Dhabi and in due time on flights to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Sydney and Melbourne (pending government approval). Etihad commenced services between Abu Dhabi and Athens in June 2009 operating three flights per week, which was increased to daily from January 2010. The flights were launched at the same time as Etihad began flights to Larnaca in Cyprus.-PR
