Signs deal for new Bangkok service and loyalty agreement
Etihad Airways and Condor have further strengthened their strategic partnership with the signing of a frequent flyer agreement at the IATA AGM in Rio de Janeiro, alongside the announcement of a new Condor service between Bangkok and Abu Dhabi.
Together with Condor’s upcoming daily services from Frankfurt and Berlin – the UAE’s only direct connection to the German capital – Bangkok becomes the third route in Condor’s planned Abu Dhabi operation, further strengthening future connectivity through the UAE capital and expanding travel options for guests across both airlines’ networks.
As part of the new agreement, Etihad Guest members will be able to redeem miles across Condor-operated flights, providing access to destinations across Europe, North America, the Caribbean and beyond.
Partnership
The partnership already includes a comprehensive codeshare agreement and continues to expand across multiple areas of cooperation, including network connectivity, loyalty, commercial collaboration and operational initiatives designed to enhance the end-to-end guest experience.
“As we continue to grow our network and welcome more visitors to Abu Dhabi, strong partnerships such as this play an important role in extending our reach and creating seamless travel experiences across complementary networks,” stated Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad.
“With the new connection between Bangkok and Abu Dhabi, we are expanding our offering and strengthening connectivity between Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia. Together, we are providing our guests with even more travel options and flexibility,” added Jens Boyd, Commercial Director and Member of the Executive Committee, Condor.
