Etihad Inks Five Interline Agreements with Five Airlines

DALLAS – Etihad Airways (EY) has signed reciprocal interline partnerships with five airline partners, expanding global travel options for passengers.

The Abu Dhabi-based (AUH) airline has signed partnerships with Kam Air (RQ) in Afghanistan, SKY Express (GQ) in Greece, Rex Airlines (ZL) in Australia, Jeju Air (7C) in Korea, and Myanmar Airways International (8M).
