Gulf Air Adds Four American Airports Through Etihad Airways Codeshare

Gulf Air have added four airports in the United States of America to the list of cities served by the existing codeshare agreement for travel commencing Sep. 23. The addition of the new destinations further strengthen the solid ties between the two countries and carriers by continuing to enjoy a strong and robust relationship following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two carriers at the Bahrain International Airshow in Nov. last year.

Gulf Air will place its ‘GF’ code on Etihad flights from Abu Dhabi to and from Chicago O’Hare, Los Angeles, New York JFK and Washington and will be able to enjoy the preclearance facility offered at Abu Dhabi International Airport exclusively for Etihad flights. The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at Terminal 3 in Abu Dhabi Airport is a purpose-built facility that allows US bound passengers to process all immigration, customs and agriculture inspections in Abu Dhabi before they depart. On arrival in the USA, guests arrive as domestic passengers, speeding up the arrival process and making onward connections more seamless.
