Etihad Airways will offer air travellers a greater choice of flights and improved connections as part of its winter 2009-10 schedule, with a new service to Hyderabad and additional services to Athens, Istanbul, Beirut, Cairo, and Kathmandu among the highlights. The new winter schedule starts on Sunday 25 October and by January 2010, will be almost 15% larger than the same period last year with 950 flights planned to operate each week. The new flights to Hyderabad from November 2009 will join Chicago and Cape Town as the airline’s newest routes.
The carrier will take delivery of three brand new Airbus A320s during the winter period which will support the frequency increases to short- and medium-haul destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Etihad’s network across the Middle East and North Africa region will be strengthened with increased services from Abu Dhabi to Beirut, from 14 to 18 flights a week, and Cairo, from seven to 10 a week, starting on 1 January 2010. The airline’s Asian network will be boosted with an increased number of flights to Kathmandu from four per week to a daily service.
