Nov 03, 2015 (newstodate): The Latvian carrier airBaltic and Air Serbia have deepened their code-share cooperation to comprise more routes.
According to this new agreement, airBaltic will add its prefix to Air Serbia's flights from Belgrade to Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen and Vienna, while Air Serbia's prefix will be added to airBaltic's routes from Riga to Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Vienna.
In 2013, Etihad acquired 49 percent of the stake in Air Serbia following on a five-year strategic partnership agreement inked on August 1, 2013, and Air Serbia has since grown its business with new aircraft and an extensive route network code-sharing with a number of carriers including Etihad.
airBaltic also entered a code-share agreement with Etihad in 2013 comprising flights, later suspended, between Riga and Abu Dhabi, as well as airBaltic's flights from Riga to 19 destinations, some of which are no longer served by the carrier.
Etihad has long been rumored to emerge as a potential investor in state-owned airBaltic that is very much seeking a new partner to boost its business and shoulder the investments in new CS300 aircraft.
A deeper cooperation between Air Serbia and airBaltic would make sense within the framework of joint Etihad-ownership.
