UAE’s flag carrier, Etihad (EY) and South
African Airways (SA) have got into a mutual alliance by signing a codeshare
agreement. The two carriers have signed the pact to offer more flight options
to fliers.

passengers booking tickets for flights to South Africa on both airlines as they will now be
able to get seamless connection to various destinations in Africa, South
America and the Middle East and beyond.
Under the arrangement, SA will place codes
on EY flights to 12 destinations from Abu
Dhabi Johannesburg to Cape
Town , Durban , East London and Port Elizabeth in South
Africa , as well as to Livingston, Lusaka
and Ndola in Zambia ,
to Harare and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe , and to Sao Paulo
in Brazil
The agreement is sure to bring manifold
rewards for frequent-flyer members of both the airlines. The code-share will
spell as reciprocal frequent-flyer program benefits to the tickets holders when
travelling aboard any of the two airlines. Voyager members will be able to earn
miles when travelling aboard EY flights using SA-issued tickets. Likewise, Etihad
