Etihad Airways and China Eastern Airlines have officially launched their landmark Joint Venture (JV). The launch follows the arrival of China Eastern’s flight from Shanghai to Abu Dhabi on 28 April.
Building upon the launch of the Joint Venture, the two airlines have also signed a new agreement between their respective loyalty programmes on 29 April. Starting 1 June 2025, members of Etihad Guest and Eastern Miles programmes can earn and redeem miles across both airlines' global networks — unlocking greater value and seamless travel experiences for loyalty members.
