en.Wedoany.com Reported - Etihad Airways and Condor have expanded their strategic partnership, adding a new Bangkok route and signing a frequent flyer agreement to offer travelers more flight options between Abu Dhabi, Germany, and Asia. Condor will launch a Bangkok-Abu Dhabi route, making the Thai capital the third destination it operates in Abu Dhabi, following Frankfurt and Berlin. The agreement also allows Etihad Guest members to redeem miles on flights operated by Condor, providing access to destinations in Europe, North America, the Caribbean, and other markets served by the German leisure airline.
The Bangkok route is the latest expansion of Condor's Abu Dhabi network. This collaboration builds on the strategic partnership announced by Etihad Airways and Condor in December 2025, which already includes a codeshare agreement covering network connectivity and commercial cooperation. Condor's upcoming flights from Frankfurt and Berlin to Abu Dhabi will add the Bangkok route, strengthening Abu Dhabi's role as a transit hub between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The Berlin route will also provide the only direct flight from the UAE to the German capital, increasing consumer travel options for passengers traveling between the UAE and Germany.
The frequent flyer agreement offers Etihad Guest members another way to use miles beyond Etihad's own network. Etihad Guest miles can already be earned through flights, hotel stays, vacations, retail partners, and everyday spending. The new Condor agreement will allow members to redeem miles on services operated by Condor, increasing accessibility to leisure destinations within its network. The partnership enables Condor passengers to connect via Abu Dhabi to Etihad Airways' route network, including destinations in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Etihad Airways stated that the arrangement will support travel to destinations such as Zanzibar and Salalah, while expanding options for passengers traveling between Europe, the UAE, and Asia.
