It seems Emirates continues to make friends, with the airline announcing a codeshare with Avianca
The new partnership allows Emirates and Avianca customers to enjoy seamless connectivity on select routes.
Emirates customers flying from Emirates’ network via Madrid, Barcelona or London Heathrow, can fly directly to three points in Colombia. The codeshare flights where Emirates will place its code on include:
- Madrid to Bogotá, Medellin or Cali
- Barcelona to Bogotá
- London Heathrow to Bogotá
Avianca will place its code on routes operated by Emirates, between Barcelona, Madrid or London Heathrow and Dubai.
Tickets can be booked immediately on emirates.com, avianca.com, the Emirates and Avianca Apps, contact centres or via both online and offline travel agents, with codeshare flights starting from 4 June.
Customers of both airlines will enjoy the convenience of seamless connectivity, and hassle-free booking of itineraries on both airlines on a single ticket and a single baggage policy checked through to the final destination.
