Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, is celebrating a significant expansion of its network this June. The airline is launching flights to eight new destinations, bringing the total number of operating routes this summer to 76.
Antonoaldo Neves, chief executive officer at Etihad, expressed his excitement about the airline‘s network growth. “It is an exciting month for Etihad as we deliver on our plans to expand our network with eight additional locations. We are launching flights to three important sites – Bali, Jaipur, and Al Qassim – which are already proving popular with our guests based on forward-bookings.”
Etihad has also commenced operations to new seasonal destinations and returned to popular summer hotspots. “We’re looking forward to welcoming our guests on board this summer and conveniently connecting more people to more places around the world,” said Neves.
This Eid holiday, Etihad began operating direct flights to summer destinations such as Nice on the French Riviera and Antalya on the Turkish Riviera. The airline also returned to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Earlier in June, Etihad relaunched its services to the popular Spanish holiday resort of Málaga for the season.
This week, Etihad launched services directly to Jaipur, known as the “pink city” and a major tourist hotspot in Rajasthan, India. This marks Etihad’s 11th gateway into India, further cementing the airline’s commitment to the Indian market through increased connectivity and convenience.
On June 24th, Etihad will launch a new service to Al Qassim, marking the airline’s fourth destination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al Qassim is revered for its rich culture, lively markets, and luscious date palm groves.
The following day, June 25th, Etihad will launch its very first flight to the dream island of Bali, Indonesia. In addition to offering a direct gateway for visitors to the island hotspot from the UAE, Etihad also offers convenient connections from Europe, North America, and the GCC.
Etihad will operate four weekly flights to Bali, providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy the quintessential tropical island escape.
