Dubai: Emirates Airlines in Dubai and TAP Air Portugal have decided to expand their codeshare partnership. 23 more destinations will be added as part of the expansion. By this, passengers can travel to around 90 destinations with one ticket.
By a codeshare agreement, airlines can fly to an increased number of destinations without needing more planes, hiring extra flight attendants or r paying more in airport fees. The codeshare gives airlines access to more routes without flying to those destinations by themselves.
In March, Emirates and TAP Air Portugal had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the codeshare partnership currently in place between both airlines.
