(eTN) - Abu-Dabining milliy aviakompaniyasi Etihad (EY) va Evropaning mega-tashuvchisi KLM / Air France o'rtasidagi ilg'or sheriklikdan so'ng, Etihad hozirda keng kodlash shartnomasini imzolaganidan tashqari, ajablantiradigan narsa yo'q. Keniya Airways (KQ), SkyTeam sherigi, unda KLM KQ xususiylashtirilgan 1996 yildan buyon katta ulushga ega.
Etihad Airways va Kenya Airways aviakompaniyalari bugun tushdan keyin Abu-Dabida KQ Abu Dabiga parvozlarni shu yilning iyun oyidan boshlanishini, dastlab haftasiga uch marta Abu-Dabi va Nayrobi o'rtasidagi Etihad xizmatiga zudlik bilan kodlash orqali amalga oshirilishini ma'lum qildi. Ajablanarli tomoni shundaki, hozirda bitim imzolandi, chunki kodlangan parvozlar nafaqat Nayrobi va Abu-Dabi o'rtasidagi sohalarni qamrab oladi, balki ikkala yo'ldan ham o'tib ketadi, Etihad KQning Afrika tarmog'iga kirish huquqini qo'lga kiritadi, Kenya Airways esa o'z navbatida yutuqlarga erishadi. Hindiston, Janubiy va Shimoliy Osiyo va Avstraliyaga EY tarmog'idagi 32 ta yo'nalishga kirish, bu yo'lovchilarga ko'proq yo'nalishlar, ko'proq reyslar va har ikkala aviakompaniya allaqachon ishlayotgan tez-tez uchib yurish imkoniyatlari bilan sodiqligi uchun yanada katta ahamiyatga ega. o'zlarining tez-tez uchadigan dasturlarini (FFP) moslashtirish va birlashtirish.
Darhol buni tasdiqlash mumkin emas edi, lekin hozirda imzolangan ushbu bitim Air Seychelles bilan yaqin hamkorlik uchun kashshof bo'lishi mumkin - bu Etihad 40 foiz ulushga egalik qiladi va menejmentni ta'minlaydi - va Keniya Airways asta-sekin Nayrobi va Mahe o'rtasida ko'proq reyslarni qo'shish. Hozirda haftada uchta reysni Kenya Airways amalga oshirmoqda, ammo Seymel orollari milliy aviakompaniyasiga Afrika qit'asiga ko'proq kirish imkoniyatini berish uchun HM bilan kodli aloqa yaqinlashmoqda, bu erda KQ Afrikaning aksariyat poytaxtlari bilan uzluksiz aloqani ta'minlay oladi va keyingi oxirigacha. yil, aslida barcha tijorat va siyosiy poytaxtlar, chunki ko'proq samolyotlar kelmoqda.
So'nggi bir necha hafta va bir necha oy ichida Korean Air aviakompaniyasi bilan amalga oshirilgan operatsiyalardan so'ng Vietnam Airlines va China Eastern bilan shunga o'xshash bitimlarni imzolaganidan keyin bu Afrikaning mag'rurligi uchun navbatdagi zarbadir. KQ kompaniyasi hozirda dunyoning turli mamlakatlaridan 18 ta sheriklarga ega, shu bilan birga Etihad butun dunyo bo'ylab 42 ta aviakompaniya bilan hamkorlik qiladi. Kenya Airways kompaniyasining guruh boshqaruvchisi va bosh ijrochi direktori doktor Titus Naykuni shunday dedi: "Ushbu yangi kodlash shartnomasi Keniya Airways uchun muhim voqea bo'lib, u bizning yo'lovchilarimizga BAA poytaxtiga va undan keyin qulay kirish imkoniyatini beradi. keng Etihad Airways tarmog'i. ”
Etihad Airways prezidenti Jeyms Xogan bunga javoban shunday dedi: “Kenya Airways bilan hamkorlik shartnomasi bizning tarmoq va marketing sohasini kengaytirish uchun butun dunyo bo'ylab aviakompaniyalar bilan ittifoq tuzish strategiyamizga mos keladi. O'tgan yili biz Tripoli, Nayrobi va Lagosga yangi xizmatlarni ishga tushirdik va so'nggi besh yil ichida qit'aning ahamiyati ortib borayotganligini aks ettiruvchi Afrikaga xizmatlarimizni ikki baravarga oshirdik. Xuddi shu davrda biz Afrika va BAA o'rtasida uch millionga yaqin yo'lovchilarni va bizning tarmoqimiz bo'ylab asosiy yo'nalishlarni uchib o'tdik. ”
USHBU MAQOLADAN NIMA OLISH KERAK:
- What is surprising though is the extent of the deal now inked, as the codeshared flights will not just cover the sectors between Nairobi and Abu Dhabi but go way beyond, both ways, with Etihad gaining access to KQ's Africa network while Kenya Airways in turn gains access to 32 destinations in the EY network to India, South and North Asia, and Australia, giving their passengers yet greater value for their loyalty with more destinations, more flights, and more opportunities to earn frequent flyer miles where both airlines are already working to align and integrate their respective frequent flier programs (FFPs).
- Presently three flights a week are operated by Kenya Airways but a codeshare with HM is now within reach to give the Seychelles national airline greater access to the African continent, where KQ can provide seamless connections to most capitals in Africa, and by the end of next year in fact all commercial and political capitals as more aircraft come on line.
- It could not be immediately confirmed though, but it is very much anticipated, that this deal now signed may also be a precursor for a closer cooperation between Air Seychelles – in which Etihad holds a 40 percent share and provides the management – and Kenya Airways to progressively add more flights between Nairobi and Mahe.
