SAA and Ethiopian Airlines’ codeshare agreement was extended this week. As a result it now includes, Cape Town, Durban and Toronto, Canada.
Ehtiopian Airlines will operate a direct service between Addis Ababa and Cape Town and Addis Ababa and Durban, with SAA as the marketing carrier. The two airlines already code-share from Addis Ababa to Johannesburg, and between Addis Ababa and Bamako, in Mali, with all these flights operated by Ethiopian aircraft.
In return, the Ethiopian Airlines codeshares on SAA’s aircraft on the following routes: Johannesburg-Cape Town, Johannesburg-Durban, and Johannesburg-Windhoek.
AA customers will now be able to fly on Ethiopian Airlines using the SAA ticket code, while Ethiopian Airlines’ customers will be able to fly on SAA using the ET code.
