Etihad Airways to Launch Daily Flights to DFW

Etihad Airways has confirmed it will increase the frequency of its new service to Dallas/Fort Worth to daily from 16 April 2015.

Dallas/Fort Worth will be added to Etihad’s global network on 3 December 2014 with an initial three flights per week.

It is the airline’s sixth route in the USA, alongside New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, which launches on 18 November 2014.

The Dallas/Fort Worth route will be operated by a Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, with eight seats in First Class, 40 seats in Business Class, and 177 seats in Economy Class.

“DFW Airport welcomes the news that Etihad Airways will be expanding to a daily service between DFW and Abu Dhabi next April, just a few months after their planned start date in December of this year,” said Sean Donohue, CEO of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. “With over 62 million customers a year who travel through DFW, the daily flights will be appealing to both business and leisure customers and today’s announcement is an important commitment to markets served by our two global hub airports. As the fastest growing region in the United States, the DFW region is a strong regional and connecting market and the increase in service will provide customers with even more options.”
