It is only codeshares. Awards still stay the same.
Etihad is suspending all flights to one major destination in the United States following a decision of an American carrier to end its codeshare agreement.
The airline announced on Thursday that it will stop operating the Abu Dhabi – Dallas/ Forth Worth (DFW) route effective March 25, 2018. Dallas/Forth Worth is one of the five major US destinations that Etihad flies direct to, along with Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Washington.
American Airlines, which is headquartered in Fort Worth, notified Etihad in June that it is terminating its relationship with the UAE carrier effective March 2018. By terminating the codeshare, American will stop selling tickets for Etihad or share the same flight with the airline.
The US carrier is also reportedly cancelling its codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways.
Etihad said that with the “unilateral decision” by American Airline, it will no longer be commercially sustainable for the company to operate on the Dallas/Forth Worth route.
