Etihad Airways is keen to expand its footprint in South America, said President and Chief Executive Officer, James Hogan. Mr Hogan said that the airline is currently in discussions with South American-based carriers about potential commercial partnerships. Etihad Airways currently has 38 codeshare partnerships with airlines around the globe, resulting in a combined network of 323 destinations, more than any other Middle Eastern airline. Beyond its own organic growth, codeshare partnerships and equity stakes are a significant and growing part of the airline’s expansion strategy. Etihad Airways holds a 30% stake of airberlin, 40% of Air Seychelles, 3% of Aer Lingus and 10% of Virgin Australia. The airline will launch its first route in South America on June 1, 2013, with daily non-stop flights between Sao Paulo, Brazil and its home base of Abu Dhabi, the capitol of the United Arab Emirates.
