Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways will start scheduled flights to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa from November, it was announced on Wednesday.
The same month will also see the launch of flights to the Indian city of Ahmedabad, bringing the carrier’s total global reach to 86 destinations.
Flights between Abu Dhabi and Addis Ababa, its ninth destination in Africa, will operate five times a week, increasing to daily in 2013. Flights will operate daily between Abu Dhabi and Ahmedabad, the airline’s ninth destination in India. Both routes will be serviced by an Airbus A320 aircraft.
“Addis Ababa and Ahmedabad are economic centres in their respective countries and daily flights to Abu Dhabi will build greater ties with the UAE’s capital as it continues to invest in world-class development projects and attract business and leisure travelers,” said James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ president and CEO.
