Etihad Airways is adding four Indian cities to its route network - Chennai, Jaipur, Kolkata, and Kozhikode.
The decision follows successful bilateral talks earlier this week between the governments of the UAE and India, aimed at opening up air links between them.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline is now finalising the launch dates.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ chief executive, said: “Etihad is always keen to build up its Indian services and we are thrilled to have been given the rights to serve four new cities in this exciting market.”
At present, Etihad operates daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai and New Delhi as well as Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.
Etihad had set its sights on eight cities in India for new air services from its base in Abu Dhabi with traffic rights to Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bangalore and Hyderabad still to be gained.
