Travel News Asia Latest Travel News Podcasts Videos Tuesday, 20 September 2011

Etihad Airways is to substantially boost flights between Abu Dhabi and Riyadh from a daily service to 13 flights a week from 30 October.

The extra services, to be operated by Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft, will offer greater access for business travellers to explore commercial opportunities in the two capitals.

The new Riyadh schedule will boost connectivity significantly to a number of key destinations across the airline’s global network, including the Indian Subcontinent, Indonesia and the Philippines.

“Saudi Arabia is a key market for Etihad, and Riyadh has always been an important strategic destination for the airline. These changes allow us to strengthen our position within the GCC network,” said James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ Chief Executive Officer. “We are grateful to the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority and the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority for their support, which has enabled us to add the extra flights.”

Etihad Airways launched its services to Riyadh in December, 2004. The airline also offers 13 flights -per-week to Jeddah and Dammam.
