Etihad Airways has terminated its unilateral codeshare and bilateral frequent flyer partnership with Virgin Australia as a result of which passengers will not be able to book Virgin Australia-operated flights through Etihad’s booking channels.

For Etihad customers with existing bookings that include a Virgin Australia-operated segment, there will be no changes to their itineraries.

Members will no longer earn Guest Miles on Virgin Australia-operated flights from June 1, 2025 onwards.

Etihad Airways said it remains dedicated to serving Australia, as it has since 2007. For Summer 2025, the airline will increase its flights to Sydney and Melbourne, offering Australian guests an exceptional flying experience, loyalty benefits, and connections to its expanding global network. – TradeArabia News Service
