airberlin and Etihad Airways recently unveiled an Airbus A320 aircraft in specially designed joint livery, symbolizing the close ties between the two airlines and marking the launch of a new “Moving Forward” media campaign.

A new joint media campaign will be launched in January and run until March 2014. It will see the new partnership logo of the two airlines featured in advertising and marketing across Germany.

According to both airlines, air travelers will continue to benefit from the special partnership and progress made in the first two years, a partnership that brought shares of joint revenues of 200 million euros.

Following the implementation of joint codesharing across the networks, both airlines will strengthen the commercial partnership in 2014. That will include the expansion of joint sales operations, building on the current services provided by 17 joint sales offices located around the world, and representation in more than 50 international markets.

The developments in the commercial partnership are set to further increase the number of passengers who fly on the airberlin and Etihad Airways network, which currently serves 228 destinations in 84 countries.

Since the launch of the partnership two years ago both airlines carried nearly 900,000 guests across the two networks.

airberlin and Etihad Airways operate 42 weekly flights between destinations in Germany and Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This will increase to 49 weekly flights in February 2014 when a second daily Munich flight commences.

In 2013, 563,000 common codeshare passengers flew across the two networks, a 74 percent increase on the previous year. Currently, 66 airberlin routes carry Etihad Airways’ EY code and 33 Etihad Airways’ routes carry airberlin’s AB flight code.
