Etihad seeks government's permission to extend pact with Jet Airways

New Delhi: Etihad Airways, UAE's national airline, has sought the government's permission to extend its code-share agreement with Jet Airways to include additional routes to enhance its network capabilities.
"We are looking at a domestic code-sharing agreement on more routes with Jet Airways to help passengers travel seamlessly from other parts of the world into all points in India. We are awaiting the government's approval for implementing this," Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan told ET.
Such an arrangement will enable a person to fly on Etihad's network across the globe seamlessly. A code-share agreement is a business arrangement where two airlines share the same flight code. A seat can be purchased on one airline but is operated by a cooperating airline under a different flight number or code.
