Dhaka, April 1 -- Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and SkyTeam member China Southern Airlines, Asia's largest airline, are set to explore deeper and broader cooperation opportunities following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide passengers with an enhanced travel experience.
