Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad has signed a codeshare deal with Hungarian carrier Malev Airlines, to start in September.
Under the agreement, Etihad will place its EY code on flights between Budapest and Athens, Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt and Milan, while Malev will place its MA code on Etihad's flights between these cities and Abu Dhabi.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways' CEO, said: "Budapest is one of Europe's famous historical and commercial capitals and attracts significant volumes of business and we look forward to working with our colleagues at Malev to provide seamless travel between our respective hubs and beyond."
Karim Makhlouf, Malév Chief Commercial Officer, said: "Under the terms of the agreement between the two airlines, the quality services of Etihad Airways become accessible - with a Malév ticket - for all those who wish to travel from Budapest, or from the region, to Abu-Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates."
