Etihad to start services to Paris, Dhaka, Casablanca

09/03/2006

Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways will launch three new destinations this summer Paris, Dhaka and Casablanca. The new routes were announced at the prestigious International Tourism Exchange (ITB), which is currently underway at the German city of Berlin.
The last 12 months has seen Etihad continue to grow at a rapid pace with the addition of 14 new international destinations, and the arrival of our first purpose-built Boeing and Airbus aircraft. With 10,000 exhibitors from 180 countries and regions attending ITB, it is the perfect opportunity for Etihad Airways to further develop its international profile, says H.E. Dr. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saif Al Nahyan, Chairman of Etihad Airways and the Gulf Aircraft Maintenance Company (Gamco).
Etihad will launch six flights a week to the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris from May 3. The new service will offer a total weekly capacity of 1,296 seats, and will further boost the cargo capacity into the European market.

On the Paris route, Etihad will operate its new, custom-built Airbus A330-200, which is designed to offer high standards of comfort, luxury and style. The A330-200 can accommodate 216 Guests in the three Zones, 12 in Diamond, 24 in Pearl and 180 in Coral. It offers a cargo capacity of 15 tons each way.
The Dhaka route will provide a major service to the 350,000 Bangladeshi nationals based in the UAE. Etihad will launch four flights a week to Dhaka from May 3, 2006, increasing to five per week from June 5, 2006. The new service will offer a total weekly capacity of 1,465 seats, and 15 tons of cargo, in each direction.
The Casablanca route will start on June 1, 2006 and will operate four times a week. Guests will be able to enjoy the luxury of the Etihad Airways A330-200, configured to carry 22 Guests in the Pearl Zone and 240 Guests in the Coral Zone.
Etihad s continued route expansion in 2006 means that by mid-2006 the Abu Dhabi-based carrier will be flying to 30 international routes. With Etihad s ambitions to fly to 70 destinations by 2010, these latest announcements show the luxury carrier well on schedule to meet that target.
We aim to build on this network throughout 2006, carrying our guests to the world s most popular destinations whilst providing them with Etihad s unique luxury and hospitality, says H.E. Dr. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saif Al Nahyan.
As well as carrying nationals and travellers from the UAE, Etihad Airways will also continue to build on Abu Dhabi s reputation as a major world destination for business and leisure. The ITB event will enable Etihad to not only showcase the progress of the airline, and its ambitions for the future, but it is also a great opportunity to promote Abu Dhabi and the UAE to the global market, concludes H.E. Dr. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saif Al Nahyan.
