Etihad Airways has announced the termination of its codeshare partnership with Virgin Australia, effective June 2025.
This decision marks the end of a collaboration that has provided Australian travellers with extensive access to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The conclusion of this codeshare agreement is anticipated to have significant implications for the Australian travel industry. Travel agents and industry professionals will need to adjust their offerings and advise clients on alternative travel arrangements. The termination may also influence flight availability, pricing, and connectivity for routes previously covered under the partnership.
In light of this development, it is crucial for travel professionals to stay informed about the evolving airline partnerships and to explore new opportunities for their clients. Understanding the changing landscape will enable the industry to continue providing comprehensive and competitive travel solutions.
