Emirates and AEGEAN Grow Their Partnership with New Routes.

 


Emirates and AEGEAN are taking their partnership up a notch by adding a new Athens-New York (Newark) route. This comes as the airlines celebrate a year of successful collaboration that has helped over 16,800 passengers. Now, travelers flying with Emirates can enjoy a stopover in Athens and then catch AEGEAN’s flights to various European and Greek destinations. Likewise, AEGEAN passengers can hop on Emirates’ flights between Athens and Dubai or Athens and Newark.

The codeshare agreement between the two airlines kicked off in August 2022. It offered travelers an easy booking experience from Emirate’s network to eight domestic spots in Greece via Athens. All of this came with the convenience of a single ticket and one baggage policy. AEGEAN also added its code to Emirates’ flights between Dubai and Athens, making travel between the two hubs a breeze.

Adnan Kazim, Emirate's Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We’re pleased to expand our successful partnership with AEGEAN to include our direct service between Athens and Newark. We value AEGEAN as a partner and believe that by adding more routes to our joint network, we’ll be able to benefit even more customers, offering them convenient travel options and our world-class products and services.”

Through this partnership, AEGEAN now offers flights to 17 domestic destinations and an additional 53 points in regional Europe and the Middle East from its Athens hub. On the other hand, Emirates provides access to its global network of over 140 destinations across six continents from its Dubai hub. Combine the two, and you get a whopping 200 destinations worldwide.

Emirates and AEGEAN are expanding their one-year-old codeshare partnership by adding an Athens-New York (Newark) route. This move will offer more travel options for passengers and is a win-win for both airlines as they continue to grow their global footprint.

An Argentinian Low-Cost Carrier Has Become the First Airline in the World to Allow Passengers to Resell Their Tickets.

  The Argentinian low-cost carrier Flybondi has become the first airline in the world to allow passengers to resell their tickets and, in the process, earn a cut of any profit made by selling the ticket for a higher price than it was originally sold for. Similar to how concert ticket vendors like Ticketmaster have allowed resales for years, Flybondi has introduced a new platform from travel technology startup TravelX to introduce a similar concept for airline tickets. The system works by creating an NFT ticket alongside the original ticket, which is stored on the blockchain. The two tickets are synchronized and have the same fare rules, seat numbers and itineraries, allowing Flybondi to trace the NFT ticket even as it is resold or transferred to someone else. The technology currently allows resells up to 72 hours before departure, enabling both Flybondi and TravelX to earn a transaction fee whenever the ticket changes hands. Normally, airlines strictly forbid reselling tickets, but Fly
