Emirates Airline and Greek carrier AEGEAN launch codeshare partnership

Looking to travel to Greece this summer? Emirates Airline has launched a new codeshare partnership with Greece’s AEGEAN, allowing its customers to benefit from increased connectivity to eight domestic Greek points via Athens, using a single ticket. Emirates will place its code on AEGEAN operated flights to destinations, including Kerkyra, Chania, Irakleion, Mikonos, Thira, Rhodes, Thessaloniki and Alexandropoulos. Under the codeshare agreement, AEGEAN will also place its code on Emirates-operated flights between Dubai and Athens for their customers to benefit from smooth connections to Dubai and onward. Travel itineraries can now be booked on the airlines’ website, with travel agents as well as online travel agents, for travel immediately. Starting October 2022, Emirates and AEGEAN will further increase their joint codeshare network to include eight more European regional routes via Athens, including Bucharest, Belgrade and Naples, among others, as well as westwards on Emirates’ flights to New York Newark from Athens, and New York JFK from Milan. The additional codeshare routes will be subject to receiving the necessary regulatory approvals. Emirates currently serves Athens with 12 weekly flights operated by a Boeing 777. in other news, Emirates announced it will be investing over $2bn to enhance its inflight customer experience,
