Etihad launching flights to eight new destinations

Etihad Airways has confirmed the launch of flights to eight new destinations this June, taking the total number of operating routes this summer to 76. Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer at Etihad, said: “It is an exciting month for Etihad as we deliver on our plans to expand our network with eight additional locations. We are launching flights to three important sites – Bali, Jaipur and Al Qassim - which we can see from our forward-bookings are already proving popular with our guests. “At the same time, we’ve commenced operations to new seasonal destinations and returned to popular summer hotspots.” Etihad had already this month began operating directly to summer destinations including Nice on the French riviera and Antalya on the Turkish riviera, as well as returning to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini. Earlier in June, Etihad relaunched its services to the popular Spanish holiday resort of Málaga for the season. This week, Etihad launched services directly to Jaipur, marking Etihad’s 11th connection into India. On Monday 24 June, Etihad will launch a new service to Al Qassim, and on the following day, 25 June, Etihad will launch its very first flight to the island of Bali, Indonesia.
