As part of this partnership, UAE’s flag carrier will place its code on AEGEAN-operated flights to allow its customers to book their tickets to popular destinations in Greece such as  Chania, Irakleion, Kerkyra, Thira, Rhodes, Mikonos, Thessaloniki and Alexandroupolis.

AEGEAN will also place its code on Emirates-operated flights between Dubai and Athens to enable its customers to benefit from smooth connections.

With this partnership, Emirates aims to offer its customers global connectivity across six continents.

In March, Emirates signed a codeshare agreement with Garuda Indonesia to offer better connectivity to passengers.

With this partnership, customers of both airlines stand to benefit from connectivity on 16 routes across the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
