Etihad Airways has launched its winter flight schedule for 2006 – 2007 containing new services to Tehran and Kuala Lumpur, as well as additional frequencies on existing routes. The new schedule has increased by almost 50 percent from 2005-2006, with a wealth of new destinations including Manchester, Paris, Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore, Dhaka, Jakarta, Manila, Doha, Kuwait City, Muscat, Khartoum and New York.
“Etihad has continued to grow rapidly throughout the last year, and the launch of this winter schedule is important because our Guests can now fly to so many more international destinations,” said Geert W. Boven, Vice President Commercial, Etihad Airways.
“We have expanded in every area of the network with new destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, many of which offer convenient connections onward from our Abu Dhabi hub.”
One of the key highlights of the new schedule is the three times-per-week service to the Iranian capital, Tehran, further strengthening the airline’s Middle East network.
Etihad started operating its new, purpose-built, Boeing 777-300ER aircraft between Abu Dhabi and Tehran.
Once launched on 16 January, the new frequent service to Kuala Lumpur is also expected to become one of Etihad Airways’ busiest routes with six flights-per-week to the Malaysian capital.
The highly popular route to Paris’s Charles de Gaulle Airport will increase from six flights-per-week to daily from 16 January 2007.
