Etihad Airways has launched a powerful codeshare deal with STARLUX Airlines. As a result, travelers now enjoy expanded options between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The move strengthens Etihad’s global reach while increasing convenience for passengers.
Through this agreement, travelers can connect key cities in Japan through STARLUX’s Taipei hub. Meanwhile, STARLUX customers gain easy access to Europe via Etihad’s Abu Dhabi hub. Therefore, this partnership bridges East and West with greater efficiency.
Notably, Etihad will begin daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Taipei on September 7, 2025. These flights will use the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and support the codeshare routes. Consequently, passengers will experience better connectivity and faster transfers.
Additionally, booking becomes easier through single-ticket purchases. As travelers book via Etihad’s site or app, they will benefit from smoother check-ins and baggage transfers. Likewise, STARLUX customers gain access to Europe with one easy stop in Abu Dhabi.
Moreover, the agreement supports Etihad’s vision for Abu Dhabi as a premium gateway. Travelers can explore the city with ease using the Abu Dhabi Stopover program. In turn, this boosts the emirate’s global appeal.
The partnership also focuses on loyalty rewards. By the end of the year, both airlines will launch a joint frequent flyer program. As a result, passengers can earn and redeem miles across both networks, gaining more travel value.
Furthermore, both airlines will engage in joint marketing efforts in Taiwan. This ensures better brand visibility and increased passenger interest. Ultimately, the deal strengthens Etihad Airways’ role as a global leader in air travel.
With broader routes, smoother bookings, and stronger loyalty rewards, Etihad Airways continues its rapid global expansion—connecting Asia, Europe, and the Middle East like never before.
