Etihad Airways has announced the addition of Jaipur to its growing India network.
The Abu Dhabi-based carrier will fly daily services to Jaipur from 1 April 2014. Simultaneously, the airline has also announced the addition of daily services to Rome, Italy and four flights per week to Yerevan, Armenia. The new routes will join the previously announced daily service to Los Angeles, Zurich, Perth, Medina and three flights per week to Dallas, all of which are scheduled to commence in 2014.
James Hogan, president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways said, “This is part of a measured and strategic growth plan, which will reinforce the future of the national carrier of the UAE and the vital role it plays in the emergence of Abu Dhabi as a global aviation hub. Together with our codeshare and equity alliance partners, we have created a virtual network of more than 375 destinations. This collaborative model gives us scale and enhanced global market access in constrained regions. But more importantly, it strengthens our customer proposition by offering more choice and better connections across our hub in Abu Dhabi.”
The 2014 network plan also makes provision for increases in frequency and connectivity on existing routes, with more than 20% growth expected in weekly departures. Etihad Airways will receive 20 aircraft deliveries next year, including Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A380s.
Just last week, the airline announced the doubling of flights on Mumbai and New Delhi routes along with more capacity.
