Star Alliance partners, Singapore Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines, have expanded their codeshare agreement.
It now includes ET-operated flights between Singapore and Addis Ababa, via Bangkok, and flights between Addis Ababa and Pointe Noire, Congo; Accra, Ghana; Entebbe, Uganda; and Kigali, Rwanda.
In the coming months, SQ also plans to codeshare on ET-operated flights from Addis Ababa to Mombasa, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.
ET plans to codeshare on SQ-operated flights beyond Singapore to Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney in Australia.
These are subject to regulatory approvals.
Area manager for ET South Africa Yohannes Teklu says the codeshare is cooperation beyond the Star Alliance cooperation. “It means that on days that we have no flights to Singapore, they will assist us according to our codeshare agreement.”
