ETIHAD AIRWAYS AND ALITALIA EXPAND CODESHARE WITH DIRECT ROME-ABU DHABI FLIGHTS
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and Alitalia, Italy’s flag carrier, today announced that direct Rome-Abu Dhabi flights will commence December 1, 2012.
Subject to government approvals, Alitalia will operate the four weekly flights using an Airbus A330 aircraft in conjunction with codeshare partner Etihad Airways. The flights, with seating capacity for 230 passengers, will operate on a split schedule, ensuring maximum connectivity over Etihad Airways’ Abu Dhabi hub.
Etihad Airways will place its EY code on the new Rome (Fiumicino) flights, providing travellers with direct access to the Italian capital from Abu Dhabi, building on the daily service it already operates to the northern Italian city of Milan.
In addition, Etihad Airways will codeshare on Alitalia operated flights beyond Rome to the cities of Venice and Zurich. The UAE flag carrier already codeshares on Alitalia-operated flights from Rome to Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, Geneva and Athens.
Alitalia will continue to place its AZ code on Etihad Airways flights from Abu Dhabi to Bahrain, Muscat, Johannesburg, Bangkok, Melbourne and Sydney.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The ties between the UAE and Italy have never been stronger, and one of our key objectives all along was to provide our passengers with a direct service to Rome.
“We signed our initial codeshare with Alitalia back in December 2009, and it has been a great success. Extending the deal now to cover direct Rome-Abu flights is a natural next step.
“Ultimately, this is fantastic news for both airlines' passengers, giving them direct access to Rome and Abu Dhabi respectively, and beyond right across both networks, and at the same time allowing them to earn and burn frequent flyer miles on both airlines' combined networks."
Andrea Ragnetti, CEO of Alitalia, said: “I am proud to announce this important new route that Alitalia will operate from the first of December. It's the next step in a successful collaboration which we started in 2009 with Etihad Airways.
“The new Rome-Abu Dhabi route will allow both companies to offer their passengers a new direct service and in particular for Alitalia passengers from Rome, it will further open the doors to exceptional business and tourist destinations around the world on Etihad Airways’ network.
“Moreover, today’s announcement is the best evidence of how Alitalia is undergoing a process of positive growth and development, even at a time when air transportation is facing many challenges.”
Etihad Airways is committed to Italy and this year celebrates five years of direct Abu Dhabi-Milan flights.
The new Rome-Abu Dhabi flights are on sale from today.

Un'ottima notizia.
Per certe destinazioni trovo tralaltro molto meglio la combinazione AZ+EY piuttosto che AZ+AF/KL

Chissà, come si diceva era una battuta e poteva essere interpretata a piacere visto che non specificava i parametri di valutazione, per esempio direi che negli ultimi 3 mesi possiamo dire di si senza grossi dubbi visto che si sono riprese anche Giappone e Cina che in inverno e primavera soffrivano.

Oltre all accordo commerciale in se, quali altri vantaggi per AZ?
Il centro di quell area e' ancora Dubai se non sbaglio, un 330 su Abu Dhabi mi lascia perplesso

Bah, un FCO-DXB con la forte presenza di EK a FCO mi sembra abbastanza inutile.
Aprire un FCO-DXB non avrebbe avuto nessun senso visto che ci sono già i voli diretti di EK che poi da DXB offre transiti in tutto il mondo. AUH è la soluzione migliore perchè praticamente AZ opera senza competitor diretti offrendo comunque prosecuzioni grazie all'accordo con EY.
Secondo me invece è meglio.
DXB ormai è presidiata con 7-8 daily di EK dall'Italia, quando AZ la lasciò nel 2008 già faticava e non c'era sta potenza di fuoco......erano si e no 3 daily.
AUH ha il vantaggio di servire un mercato un pò meno affollato, dall'Italia c'è solo 1 daily di EY che però non è nemmeno in antagonismo con AZ ma in collaborazione.
Abu Dhabi poi magari ha pure il vantaggio di avere forse un pò più di traffico diplomatico con Roma collegando le 2 capitali.
Dubai è ancora il centro più importante di riferimento, ma AUH alla fine è un aeroporto bis anche per l'area di Dubai.
Etihad offre frequenti luxury bus, AUH è sito a circa 35 km da Abu Dhabi e a un 100 km da Dubai, quindi si possono cogliere bene le zone di entrambe le città.
In circa 1h si va da AUH Airport a Dubai Marina.......un tempo che in molte città del mondo è normale per raggiungere il centro città dall'aeroporto di riferimento.

In termini assoluti hai ragione.
Nel contesto di AZ, sarà interessante vedere le destinazioni in CS. Finora tutto il lungo verso l'Asia effettuato da CAI su metallo altrui, era appannaggio sostanzialmente esclusivo di AF/KL.
Se nell'accordo con EY fossero comprese destinazioni "pesanti" in diretta concorrenza con i franco-olandesi, questa mossa si potrebbe leggere anche come una scelta di maggiore autonomia da parte di AZ nei confronti del suo principale azionista.
appunto per questo. Su DXB sarebbe stato un ptp secco a meno di non fare un accordo con EK , la quale non vedo che interesse avrebbe avuto vista la sua "potenza di fuoco". L'accordo è positivo per entrambe le compagnie che aggiungono entrambe uno scalo alla loro rete . Il volo lo riempi con transiti per le destinazioni di EY in Australasia e in direzione opposta offrendo destinazioni europee non coperte da EY e invece operate da AZ (vedi MAD,BCN,TLS,NCE,ZRH,VCE ...etc..) oltre che come ptp per gli emirati.

Quoto, quindi in teoria un A330 potrà rivelarsi la macchina giusta. Poi vedremo il LF...
