Etihad and TAP Air Portugal have signed a codeshare agreement, unlocking more destinations for both airlines’ passengers.
As a result of this partnership, Etihad passengers will provide easy one-stop access to a variety of captivating destinations across the TAP network. These include iconic cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil, as well as San Francisco and Miami in the USA.
Additionally, the enchanting African resort island of São Tomé is among the picturesque locations available through this collaboration, and passengers can also connect to Madeira, Malaga, Seville, and Valencia in Europe, as well as Marrakech and Dakar in Africa.
This collaboration provides our guests with convenient one-stop access to 26 of TAP’s fantastic leisure and business destinations. Equally, it expands the choices available to TAP customers travelling from Europe to Abu Dhabi, offering them the opportunity to explore the inviting hospitality and rich culture of our home, and seamlessly connect to a selection of our destinations in the GCC and Seychelles. Widening our network reach, allowing more guests to visit Abu Dhabi, is an important part of our strategic growth. It allows us to further reinforce Abu Dhabi’s cultural and economic development, extending a warm welcome to more guests and offering them heightened travel privileges and unforgettable experiences.
