Etihad Airways has signed a codeshare agreement with Greek regional carrier SKY express, opening access to 24 Greek island destinations and three additional Eastern Mediterranean cities for customers travelling via Athens.
The partnership, effective 14 July 2025, builds on the strong performance of the existing interline cooperation between the two airlines and significantly expands Etihad’s reach across the Greek islands and broader Eastern Mediterranean region.
Under the codeshare agreement, Etihad will place its code on SKY express-operated flights beyond Athens, providing seamless access to Greece’s most popular island destinations including Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, and Kos, alongside sought-after destinations such as Corfu, Paros, and Thessaloniki.
Expanding connectivity
The partnership complements Etihad’s daily service to Athens by expanding connectivity exclusively via Athens as the gateway, positioning the Greek capital as a strategic hub for onward island travel.
“Together, we are dedicated to making Greece a sought-after, year-round destination for visitors from around the world,” commented Gerasimos Skaltsas, Chief Commercial Officer, SKY Express.
“This partnership with SKY express opens exciting new possibilities for our customers to discover Greece beyond Athens,” remarked Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways.
