Etihad Airways and Aerolíneas Argentinas have launched a new codeshare partnership, creating connections via Rome and Madrid to Buenos Aires and onwards to nine other Argentinian destinations: Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Iguazú, Salta, Mar del Plata, Bariloche, Trelew and Ushuaia.

Aerolíneas Argentinas guests now have access to Etihad Airways’ network of over 100 destinations from its Abu Dhabi hub via the Italian and Spanish capitals. Members of both airlines’ loyalty programmes, Etihad Guest and Aerolíneas Plus, will soon be able to earn and redeem miles on the codeshare flights.

Mohammad Al Bulooki, Etihad Airways executive vice president commercial, said: “This codeshare demonstrates the importance of Argentina as a vital travel market for Etihad Airways in Latin America given the growing tourism, cultural and business opportunities that exist between the UAE and Argentina.

“We wish to give travellers flying Aerolíneas Argentinas the opportunity to enjoy the acclaimed service and hospitality for which Etihad Airways is renowned throughout the world. This codeshare will make the experience that much easier.”
