Etihad Airways and Tunisair launch codeshare partnership, expanding tourism and travel options | News
Etihad Airways and Tunisair today signed a codeshare agreement that will strengthen air links between North Africa and Abu Dhabi and support the growing demand for travel, tourism and business between the two regions.
From today, travelers can book flights between Abu Dhabi and Tunis under both airlines’ codes on Etihad-operated services. The partnership creates a streamlined booking experience with one ticket, one check-in and luggage automatically transferred to the final destination.
The agreement covers Etihad’s three weekly flights on the Abu Dhabi-Tunis route, which commenced on November 1, 2025. Flights will be operated using Etihad’s Airbus A321LR, offering the airline’s signature hospitality in three cabins with 2 First Suites, 14 Business and 144 Economy seats.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “Partnering with Tunisair brings Abu Dhabi closer to travelers in North Africa. We see strong interest from the region in what Abu Dhabi has to offer – from business opportunities and trade connections to tourism and family connections. This codeshare gives Tunisair customers access to our service and products, making Abu Dhabi an easier-to-reach destination.”
Halima Ibrahim Khouaja, Chief Executive Officer at Tunisair, said: “Through this partnership, we are opening new travel opportunities for our customers by connecting the Maghreb and Africa to the Gulf. Abu Dhabi is a strategic market for Tunisair, and our partnership with Etihad further expands the range of connections available to passengers through our network. This agreement strengthens the air bridge between our regions and underlines Tunisair’s role as a key player in regional connectivity.”
