Etihad expands reach with Jet Blue deal

1/24/2014 9:29:24 AM

Abu Dhabi's state-owned Etihad Airways has secured a deal to share route codes with US carrier JetBlue Airways, a move which extends the reach of its network in the United States and nearby markets.

Unlisted Etihad will initially code-share on 40 JetBlue routes within the United States from New York and Washington, pending government approval, Etihad said in a statement, reported Reuters.

Etihad, along with other state-backed Gulf carriers like Emirates and Qatar Airways, have pumped billions of dollars into expanding its fleet and routes, while other Western airlines have cut costs and shelved growth plans.

Once Etihad starts daily flights to Los Angeles in June further services are planned. Etihad also plans to code-share on JetBlue flights between New York and select destinations in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Colombia.

This is Etihad's second codeshare in the United States, the first being with American Airlines.

Etihad, which flies daily to New York, Washington and Chicago, last week announced a second daily flight between Abu Dhabi and New York. Etihad plans to start flights to Los Angeles in June and Dallas Fort-Worth in December this year.
