Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of the UAE has launched a new codeshare partnership with Aerolíneas Argentinas, Argentina's largest airline and national flag carrier.

Under the agreement, Etihad Airways customers are able to enjoy convenient connections via Rome and Madrid to Buenos Aires and onwards to nine other popular Argentinian destinations including Córdoba, Mendoza, Rosario, Iguazú, Salta, Mar del Plata, Bariloche, Trelew and Ushuaia.

In turn, Aerolíneas Argentinas guests can have access to Etihad Airways’ network of over 100 destinations from its Abu Dhabi hub via the Italian and Spanish capitals.

Codeshare agreements offer customers countless benefits, such as baggage check-in to their final destination and extra assistance during connections.

Members of both airlines’ loyalty programmes – Etihad Guest and Aerolíneas Plus – will soon be able to earn and redeem miles on the codeshare flights.
