Etihad Airways launches New KSA Services

Travel News Asia Wednesday, 12 July 2006

Etihad Airways has launched a fourth weekly flight between Abu Dhabi and Riyadh and has raised its Abu Dhabi-Dammam schedule from six-flights-a-week to daily.

The fourth Riyadh service operates on Boeing B777-300ER aircraft every Monday, in a two-zone configuration, with 28 seats in Pearl Zone and 350 seats in Coral.

July is Etihads busiest month in the Kingdom and the schedule increases reflect the peak in the regions travel season.

Hamza Sharif, Etihads Country Manager for KSA, said, The significant capacity increases we are introducing this week, and later in the year, underline our lasting commitment to the development of business in the UAE and the Kingdom.

The Abu Dhabi-Riyadh service will double to eight flights weekly with the start of the winter timetable from 29 October and the Abu Dhabi-Dammam service will increase to nine flights weekly on the same date.

Etihad has also amended its Jeddah schedule, with flights now operating every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with EY 725 departing Abu Dhabi at 13:00, arriving in Jeddah at 14:45. The return flight, EY 726, departs Jeddah at 16:00 and arrives in Abu Dhabi at 19:45 in the evening.
