The agreement was signed at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n<p>Under the partnership, Etihad guests can book a single ticket on TAROM flights from Bucharest to six cities across Romania: Baia Mare, Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Oradea, Suceava, and Timisoara. The codeshare also extends to four Eastern European capitals: Belgrade, Budapest, Chisinau, and Sofia. Guests from Romania, in turn, can reach Abu Dhabi from Bucharest on Etihad\u2019s new service.<\/p>\n<p>The codeshare supports the launch of Etihad\u2019s new Abu Dhabi\u2013Bucharest service on 17 December 2026. Once the new service begins, guests can travel on a single ticket between Bucharest and destinations across Etihad\u2019s network, with bags checked through to the final stop.<\/p>\n<p>Romania is one of Eastern Europe\u2019s fastest-growing economies and a rising travel destination, drawing visitors to the medieval towns of Transylvania, the Carpathian Mountains, and the Danube Delta. The codeshare gives Etihad\u2019s guests a single connection to Bucharest and the wider region.<\/p>\n<p>For travellers from Romania, the codeshare opens a new connection to Abu Dhabi, home to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, the museums of the Saadiyat Cultural District and the beaches and resorts of the Arabian Gulf.From the UAE capital, guests can travel onward with Etihad to destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arik De, Etihad Airways Chief Revenue &amp; Commercial Officer<\/strong>, said: \u201cTAROM gives Etihad real depth in Eastern Europe: a flag carrier shaped by more than seven decades of European aviation, and an established network reaching across the country and the wider region. Launching this codeshare ahead of our own Bucharest service means we enter a fast-growing market with genuine scale from day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mircea Nicolae Cotoros, TAROM Chief Commercial Officer<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis codeshare with Etihad Airways extends TAROM\u2019s international reach and gives passengers a new connection between Bucharest and Abu Dhabi. It strengthens the link between Romania and the Middle East, supports the continued growth of our network and fostering cultural and economic exchanges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the addition of TAROM, Etihad\u2019s partner network now spans 47 codeshare and over 130 interline partners, the largest of any non-alliance airline, giving guests single-ticket and through-fare access to over 350 destinations worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Bookings are available from today at\u00a0etihad.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aviation News &#8211;\u00a0 Abu Dhabi, UAE &#8211; Etihad Airways and TAROM, the national airline of Romania, have signed a codeshare agreement that connects Etihad\u2019s global guests with Romania and Eastern Europe, and links travellers from Romania to Abu Dhabi, Etihad\u2019s home and gateway to its worldwide network.
