Etihad & airberlin codeshare to continue

Etihad Airways will continue operating all its codeshare flights with airberlin to destinations in Europe, the US and the UAE, following a successful court injunction last week.

The injunction, which is valid until Nov. 8, provides an opportunity for the parties to resolve outstanding differences through ongoing consultation between the governments of the UAE and Germany, according to Etihad. Etihad Airways as well as airberlin will continue to honour all flights and passenger travel arrangements will remain entirely unaffected.

The injunction was launched on Oct. 23, as Germany’s Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure had still not approved Etihad Airways codesharing on the airberlin services during the IATA winter 2015/2016 schedule, which began on Oct. 25.
