This is also good news for VAH as it means more feed through Abu Dhabi (and then towards AUS) and vice versa better connections for Aussies into Frankfurt and Munich. Can't wait for some code share action between Lufthansa and Virgin Australia!!! Any views on this from this forum?
"Etihad Airways (02/02/2017) Today, we announced an extended commercial partnership with Lufthansa, which includes a $100m global catering agreement and an MoU for aircraft maintenance & repair. Our previously announced codeshare also goes on sale today. Lufthansa will place its ‘LH’ code on Etihad’s Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt and Munich flights."
