ABU DHABI: Etihad Airways and Greek regional carrier SKY express have officially entered into a codeshare agreement, commencing on July 14, 2025.
The strategic partnership builds upon their existing interline cooperation and substantially broadens Etihad’s network across the Greek islands and the Eastern Mediterranean region. Through this agreement, Etihad will place its flight codes on SKY express-operated routes beyond Athens, facilitating seamless travel to 24 Greek island destinations and three additional cities in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The collaboration offers Etihad’s customers direct access to popular and culturally rich locations such as Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, and Kos, as well as other favoured destinations including Corfu, Paros, and Thessaloniki.
By integrating SKY express’s extensive island network with Etihad’s service to Athens, travelers benefit from streamlined connectivity under a single booking.
