Etihad Airways recently commenced non-stop daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Washington DC.
The new service has been introduced to meet strong demand for government and business travel, as well as growing demand for leisure between and beyond the cities.
“Government and corporate customers in both markets have given us strong indication that the Abu Dhabi – Washington route can support a daily service from day one,” said James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways.
He further added: “We have confidently responded by committing 3,360 seats per week and already our forward bookings on the route are very encouraging. In addition, we will open a US$6.8mn premium lounge this week in Terminal A at Dulles Airport.”
To date, Etihad Airways has carried almost two million passengers between Abu Dhabi and North America, achieving 12.6% growth in passenger numbers last year.
