# Etihad, Gulf Air widen cooperation agreement
Etihad Airways and Gulf Air are to step up their recently signed wide-ranging cooperative agreement by instituting a codeshare from the start of the industry’s summer timetable season. The latest move comes after Etihad and Gulf Air signed an MOU to cooperate in several areas in Nov 2018. Training services have already been the subject of a separate accord under the MOU. The codeshare will operate both between the two carriers’ hubs and further afield. Currently, Gulf Air has a 4X-daily operation to Abu Dhabi, while Etihad flies 3X-daily to Bahrain. Gulf Air has a mainly regional route network and serves a large number of destinations in the Indian sub-continent, together with a small number of long-haul destinations, such as London Heathrow and Manila. Etihad has a more wide-ranging long-haul route map. <br/>
