Etihad Airways and Condor have further strengthened their strategic partnership with the signing of a frequent flyer agreement at the IATA AGM in Rio de Janeiro, alongside the announcement of a new Condor service between Bangkok and Abu Dhabi.
The latest developments mark another significant milestone in the strategic partnership announced in December 2025. Together with Condor's upcoming daily services from Frankfurt and Berlin – the UAE's only direct connection to the German capital – Bangkok becomes the third route in Condor's planned Abu Dhabi operation, further strengthening future connectivity through the UAE capital and expanding travel options for guests across both airlines' networks.
As part of the new agreement, Etihad Guest members will be able to redeem miles across Condor-operated flights, providing access to destinations across Europe, North America, the Caribbean and beyond.
The partnership already includes a comprehensive codeshare agreement and continues to expand across multiple areas of cooperation, including network connectivity, loyalty, commercial collaboration and operational initiatives designed to enhance the end-to-end guest experience.
The partnership is creating new travel opportunities between Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia while supporting Abu Dhabi's tourism ambitions and economic growth.
Etihad Guest rewards members every time they travel, shop or spend. Etihad Guest Miles can be earned on Etihad and global partner airline flights, hotel stays and holidays, lifestyle and retail brands, and everyday spending.
With the upcoming services from Frankfurt, Berlin and Bangkok, Condor's growing Abu Dhabi operation will provide travellers with seamless access to Etihad's extensive and expanding network across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia, including destinations such as Zanzibar and Salalah. The partnership complements Etihad's existing services to Germany while broadening travel options for guests across both networks.
