EasyJet Extends Global Reach with New Etihad Deal

EasyJet has started selling connections to Etihad's flights

EasyJet has started selling connections to Etihad’s flights after the UAE carrier became the latest to join its Worldwide by EasyJet service, which was launched in 2017.

The two airlines have signed a partnership agreement which means that easyJet customers can book connecting flights between 68 cities in Europe to Abu Dhabi and beyond.

Flights will connect at 10 European airports in Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Rome, Geneva, Madrid, Manchester, Milan Malpensa, and Zurich – but not London.

Etihad said the deal means easyJet can sell travel between Europe and Africa, the Azores and the UAE.

The collaboration comes into effect immediately.

Both airlines plan to expand the partnership to include more destinations in the future, said Etihad.

Worldwide by easyJet promises passengers minimum connection times and if they miss their connecting flight, they are re-booked onto the next available service.
