Etihad Airways takes stake in Aer Lingus
FAST-growing Etihad Airways has taken a nearly 3 per cent stake of Aer Lingus as part of a strategy to build closer bonds with the Irish carrier, the Abu Dhabi-based airline says.
Etihad Airways and Aer Lingus have signed an historic interline and codeshare agreement which follows the UAE national airline's recent 2.987 per cent equity purchase in the Irish carrier.
