Etihad Airways has entered into a new codeshare agreement with SKY express, a leading Greek regional carrier, unlocking access to 24 island destinations across Greece and three Eastern Mediterranean cities for travellers connecting through Athens.
Effective from July 14, 2025, the partnership builds on the success of the airlines’ previous interline cooperation and significantly broadens Etihad’s network in the region. Through this codeshare, Etihad passengers can enjoy smooth connections beyond Athens to a wide range of popular leisure destinations.
Seamless Travel to Greece’s Iconic Islands
Under the new agreement, Etihad will place its flight code on a number of SKY express-operated domestic services, enabling travellers to book a single ticket that covers international and onward domestic segments. Key destinations now available include:
- Crete, Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, Kos
- As well as Corfu, Paros, and Thessaloniki
This expansion enhances Etihad’s European footprint and provides passengers with one-stop access to some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic holiday spots.
