Oman Air and Ethiopian Airlines in code share pact

Oman Air has entered into a codeshare partnership with Ethiopian Airline on the Muscat and Addis Ababa sectors, which will offer greater choice for customers of the two airlines.
This codeshare agreement will cover flights between the Omani capital of Muscat and the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
The service will be operated using Ethiopian Airlines aircraft and will build on the airline’s four flights per week between the two cities. It will be marketed by Oman Air.
Wayne Pearce, CEO of Oman Air, said: “With the signing of this new codeshare, seamless travel via Muscat to Ethiopia from any one of Oman Air’s many destinations across the Middle East, Europe and Asia has become convenient and easy, giving customers even greater opportunities to see the world and to experience Oman Air’s legendary hospitality.”
Pearce added: “The codeshare also expands the choice available to those traveling from Ethiopia, who can now fly via Muscat to any one of Oman Air’s 42 global destinations.”
Tewolde Gebremariam, Ethiopian Airlines CEO said: “The codeshare agreement with Oman Air gives our passengers more flight options as well as convenient and hassle free connection to points Ethiopian doesn’t fly directly. It also affords Oman Air customers the benefit of Ethiopian extensive network in Africa currently covering 60 cities on the continent.”
Set at the foot of Mount Entoto, 2,300 meters above sea level, Addis Ababa is often referred to as the ‘capital of Africa’ because of its historical, diplomatic and political significance.
