Effective 1 June 2025, Etihad Airways will conclude its unilateral codeshare and bilateral frequent flyer partnership with Virgin Australia.
The decision reflects a divergence in the strategic direction of the respective airlines.
As a result, when the termination takes effect passengers will no longer be able to book Virgin Australia-operated flights through Etihad’s booking channels.
For Etihad customers with existing bookings that include a Virgin Australia-operated segment, there will be no changes to their itineraries.
Members will not earn Guest Miles on Virgin Australia-operated flights from 01 June, 2025 onwards.
Etihad Airways says that it remains dedicated to serving Australia.
