South African Airways to add India destinations through code-sharing agreements

Johannesburg: South African Airways (SAA) will redirect all its Indian destination flights through Abu Dhabi from next month to cut costs through its code-sharing agreements with Etihad and Jet Airways.

It is adding multiple destinations to India through the code-sharing agreements, arrangements in which two or more airlines share the same flight. The new destinations in India include Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Madras.

SAA has announced that that from 1 April 2015, all its Indian destination flights would be routed via Abu Dhabi, in a code-share agreement for connections with Etihad and Jet Airways into the sub-continent.

Etihad Regional Business Development Manager John Friel said that through its arrangement with Jet Airways, South Africans could reach almost every destination in India.
