In addition to these routes, seasonal flights to Malaga will increase to five times per week, providing more flexibility for summer travellers.
The updated schedule, now available for booking, offers travellers the convenience of 2pm departures and a wider selection of morning and evening arrival and departure options. This flexibility makes trip planning to and from Europe much easier.
Etihad is also expanding its global network, with more flights to other key destinations aside from Europe. For example, Bali will have daily flights during the summer season, while Sydney's flights will increase to 10 per week.
Arik De, chief revenue and commercial officer at Etihad Airways, said:“We are delivering on our strategic promise to serve more key destinations twice daily as fast as we can, and our summer schedule underscores our commitment to growth and further supporting tourism in Abu Dhabi. By aligning our schedule to offer 2pm departures from Abu Dhabi, we provide guests with convenient check-out times from their hotels, allowing them to make the most of their stay in our beautiful city."
He also added,“Morning arrivals offer tourists the benefit of early hotel check-ins and extra time to explore the city's attractions, and evening arrivals are ideal for those who prefer a seamless transition after work or other commitments. For business travellers, the schedules accommodate full working days at both the beginning and end of their trip."
“Our commitment to providing remarkable travel experiences is stronger than ever, offering flights to the places our guests love, with flexible choices to match their schedule. We're excited to add Warsaw and Prague to our network, and travellers can look forward to more route announcements very soon," explained Arik.
