KOREAN Air and Etihad Airways have inked a pact that will see the two carriers codeshare on the latter’s Seoul (Incheon)-Abu Dhabi route, the first of more codeshare flights to come.
Should regulatory authorities from both countries approve, codesharing will begin on July 22 for the Etihad-operated flights on the route.
Under the agreement, Korean Air passengers will benefit from lounge access, priority check-in and excess allowances for top-tier programme members, valid on all Etihad flights. They will also be able to earn and redeem frequent flyer points.
Korean Air currently operates five-times-weekly flights between Seoul (Incheon) and Dubai, as well as thrice-weekly flights linking Seoul and Riyadh/Jeddah.
