Aegean Airlines has signed an agreement with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and will launch a four-times-a-week service between Athens and Abu Dhabi on March 30, 2014 and, subject to regulatory approvals, Etihad Airways will place its own flight code on the new flight.

Aegean Airlines is going to operate its new Athens-Abu Dhabi service with a 168-seat Airbus A320 aircraft. Etihad Airways will also place its flight code on Aegean-operated flights to 16 Greek destinations, and to a further 10 cities across Europe.

In return, Aegean is expected to offer new codeshare routes between Athens and seven destinations across the Gulf region, Australia and South Africa.
