Air Serbia And Etihad Enable New Codeshare

Serbia’s and the UAE’s national carriers, Air Serbia and Etihad Airways, have entered a new codeshare partnership. This agreement allows Etihad’s customers to access twelve Southeast European destinations through Air Serbia’s Belgrade hub. Of them, nine are new to Etihad’s extended network. Besides Serbia’s capital, the list includes Bucharest (capital of Romania), Budapest (capital of Hungary), Thessaloniki (Greece), Tirana (capital of Albania), Skopje (capital of the Republic of Macedonia) and Sofia (capital of Bulgaria).

Finding a connecting flight to Abu Dhabi becomes easier for Air Serbia’s customers. They can reach the UAE capital through Athens (Greece), Milan, Rome (both Italy) and Vienna (Austria). The codeshare agreement allows passengers to utilise the two airlines’ networks on a single ticket without the hassle of rechecking in. Moreover, travellers can use Etihad Guest – a loyalty programme – on both airlines. This allows them to earn flying miles and redeem them for various benefits.

The new codeshare agreement goes live with flights starting February 3, 2024.
