ETIHAD AIRWAYS AND CZECH AIRLINES SIGN FREQUENT FLYER AGREEMENT

Starting August 1, members of the Etihad Guest and OK Plus frequent flyer programs will be

able to earn and redeem miles on all Etihad Airways and Czech Airlines flights.

The announcement builds on the successful 18-destination codeshare relationship which the

two flag carriers launched in June 2011, and follows Czech Airlines’ re-introduction of direct

flights to Abu Dhabi from Prague last autumn.

Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer, said: “This is a natural next step

in developing our partnership with Czech Airlines and in providing members of Etihad Guest and

OK Plus with the fantastic opportunity to seamlessly earn and spend miles on each of our

networks.

“Czech Airlines is a quality airline with an attractive network, and one that links with our own

global operations over Abu Dhabi. Now our Etihad Guest members flying with Czech Airlines

will earn Etihad Guest Miles which can be exchanged for free flights, to make purchases from

the vast array of products available in the Etihad Guest online Reward Shop, or be converted to

make cash payments in more than thirty million retail outlets worldwide with PointsPay – an

unmatched loyalty proposition.“

Jiří Marek, Czech Airlines Vice President for Sales and Marketing, said: “We look forward to

rewarding our combined travellers with frequent flyer miles on our codeshare flights and

beyond. Czech Airlines offers a wide-reaching destination network over central and Eastern

Europe, has a loyal customer base and extending the partnership with Etihad Airways now

gives our OK Plus members the opportunity to earn and spend miles on an additional 80 plus

destinations.”
