16 Jan 2013

(MENAFN) Etihad Airways’ president and CEO, James Hogan, announced that starting May 15, the carrier will begin its services to Amsterdam on a daily basis, reported Arabian Business.

Hogan said that the new EY77 and EY78 services to the capital of the Netherlands, Etihad Airways’ 17th European destination, will carry the KL code of KLM, the Dutch national airline.

According to Etihad, the codeshare expansion will also see the Abu Dhabi-based carrier placing its EY code on KLM flights to Stockholm, Aberdeen, Barcelona, Bergen, Birmingham, Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Leeds/Bradford, Madrid, Nice and Toronto.

In October, Etihad Airways and strategic partner Air France-KLM inked an agreement on expanding codeshare routes, commercial development and cost synergies, which boosted Etihad’s network to 337 destinations.

It is worth noting that Etihad’s European network also includes Brussels, Dublin, Frankfurt, Geneva, London and Paris.
