Korean Air to code-share with Etihad Airways on the Incheon- Abu Dhabi route

 Korean Air has announced a code-share agreement with Etihad Airways on the Incheon-Abu Dhabi route. The code share will commence on 22 July when the authorities from both countries approve the agreement.
Etihad Airway’s daily flights are operated by A340, seating 240 passengers. The flights depart from Incheon International Airport at 01:15 and arrive in Abu Dhabi at 06:15 the same day. The return flights will depart from Abu Dhabi at 22:15, arriving Seoul Incheon at 11:45 on the next day.
Korean Air passenger benefits such as lounge access, priority check-in and excess baggage allowances for top tier program members will be valid on all Etihad Airways flights, as well as the ability to earn and burn frequent flyer points.
Alongside Korean Air’s current routes from Incheon-Dubai (five flights a week) and Incheon-Riyadh/Jeddah (three flights a week), the codeshare flights to Abu Dhabi will provide more convenience and choice to passengers travelling to the Middle-East.
Korean Air plans to expand its partnership with Etihad Airways to other destinations in the Middle-East and Africa in the future.
Korean Air also has code share partnerships with 30 other airlines worldwide, including Delta Air Lines, Air France, KLM, China Southern Airlines and Saudia Airlines.
