Etihad and Lufthansa

We remind you that Etihad and Lufthansa have entered into a codeshare agreement. In addition, Lufthansa has committed to take over 1 / 3 from the AirBerlin fleet all with crew. Etihad is the main shareholder in AirBerlin. At the same time, AirBerlin is withdrawing from routes where Lufthansa is a direct competitor.

Starting from these agreements, the press speculated on a merger between Lufthansa Etihad Airways. At the same time, there are rumors announcing important investments made by Lufthansa in Alitalia, another European airline where Etihad Airways is a principal shareholder. So far only speculation.

In any case, the agreement between Etihad Airways and Lufthansa leads to a consolidation of the Arab carrier in Europe. Together, the 2 large airlines can hold much of the aviation markets in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Serbia.
