Etihad Airways and Tunisair Sign Codeshare Agreement for Abu Dhabi–Tunis Route
Etihad Airways and Tunisair have signed a codeshare agreement aimed at strengthening air links between North Africa and Abu Dhabi and supporting travel, tourism, and business demand between the two regions.
Under the partnership, travellers can now book flights between Abu Dhabi and Tunis using either airline’s code on Etihad-operated services. The arrangement offers a simplified journey with a single ticket, one check-in process, and baggage transferred through to the final destination.
The codeshare applies to Etihad’s three weekly flights on the Abu Dhabi–Tunis route, which launched on 1 November 2025. The service is operated using Etihad’s Airbus A321LR, configured with 2 First Suites, 14 Business seats, and 144 Economy seats.
Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad Airways, said: “Partnering with Tunisair brings Abu Dhabi closer to travellers across North Africa. We’re seeing strong interest from the region in what Abu Dhabi offers – from business opportunities and trade links to tourism and family connections. This codeshare gives Tunisair’s customers access to our service and product, making Abu Dhabi an easier destination to reach.”
Halima Ibrahim Khouaja, Chief Executive Officer at Tunisair, said: “Through this partnership, we are opening new travel opportunities for our customers by connecting the Maghreb and Africa to the Gulf. Abu Dhabi is a strategic market for Tunisair, and our collaboration with Etihad further expands the range of connections available to passengers across our network. This agreement strengthens the air bridge between our regions and underscores Tunisair’s role as a key player in regional connectivity.”
Tunisair has been operating for more than 75 years, serving destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America.
Etihad currently has more than 40 codeshare partnerships worldwide, offering connections to over 500 destinations.
