airberlin Launches Flights Between Stuttgart and Abu Dhabi

airberlin has launched flights between Stuttgart and Abu Dhabi.

The daily service is airberlin’s first long-haul route from Stuttgart, capital of Germany’s Baden-Württemberg state, and also serves as the first direct connection between the thriving economic city and Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.

The route is operated using a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft, offering a total of 12 Business Class seats and 132 Economy Class seats.

Etihad Airways has placed its EY code on the flights as part of a codeshare agreement, and connects the service with a range of business and leisure destinations across its network in the GCC region, Indian Subcontinent, South East Asia and Australia.

Together, airberlin and Etihad Airways now operate 63 flights per week from Germany to Abu Dhabi, flying twice daily from Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich, and daily from Stuttgart.

Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, Chief Executive Officer of airberlin, said, “The new flights from Stuttgart to Abu Dhabi mark an important milestone for airberlin. The Stuttgart area is one of Germany’s most economically important regions and we see great potential for our service to Abu Dhabi.”
