Airberlin, Etihad codeshare extended through summer 2016
Airberlin has received approval to continue codeshare flights with Etihad Airways in the IATA summer 2016 schedule, beginning March 27. The German Aviation Authority LBA agreed to the same number of flights—26 out of 31—as the winter schedule, which was permitted in January. Together with the other 50 approved Etihad-Airberlin codeshares, 76 of the 81 are now approved. The other 5 codeshares are on German domestic routes. Earlier this year, the Higher Administrative Court reversed an earlier judgment and ordered the LBA to allow the disputed codeshare routes of the UAE-Germany air services agreement for the winter schedule. Airberlin previously said the expansion of the strategic partnership with Etihad Airways remains a central element of its network strategy and both carriers continue to drive it forward. <br/>
