Etihad Airways to Start UAE-Guinea Service

Etihad Airways, the national airlines of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has announced to establish air links between the UAE and Guinea in west Africa.

It will be done by extending Etihad's existing codeshare agreement (an aviation business arrangement where two or more airlines share the same flight) with Royal Air Maroc, the national airline of Morocco.

The expanded agreement, which comes into effect on Dec. 12, will allow passengers to travel between UAE's capital city of Abu Dhabi and Guinea's capital city of Conakry, with Etihad Airways between Abu Dhabi and Casablanca in Morocco, and to/from Guinea via Royal Air Maroc's non-stop service between Casablanca and Conakry twice a week.
