Etihad Airways and Africa World Airlines sign MoU on codeshare, interline, cargo and frequent flyer cooperation

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Africa World Airlines, the Accra-based carrier that has connected Ghana and the wider West African region for more than a decade, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic partnership spanning codeshare and interline cooperation, cargo collaboration and frequent flyer programmes.

Once implemented, it will allow Etihad guests to travel on a single ticket beyond Accra onto Africa World Airlines’ network across Ghana and West Africa, and bring Africa World Airlines’ customers to Abu Dhabi and onwards across Etihad’s network of 118 destinations.

Arik De, Chief Commercial and Revenue Officer, Etihad Airways, said: “Ghana is one of West Africa’s most dynamic aviation markets, and Africa World Airlines is the natural partner there.
