Etihad boosts flights to New York from Abu Dhabi
Will PayneEtihad Airways will boost flights to the US with four new weekly services to New York from Abu Dhabi.
The new flights – which bring the carrier’s total services from Abu Dhabi to New York to 11 – will be operated with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, while existing daily services will continue on Etihad’s new Airbus A350 aircraft, which has been deployed on the New York route since June.
The frequency increase will provide travellers with more flexibility between Abu Dhabi and New York and is timed to commence ahead of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix taking place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi between 17 and 20 November 2022.
Travellers will also have improved access between New York and Etihad’s global network of 70 destinations, particularly in the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, as well as connections beyond New York, to and from 46 destinations throughout the Americas, with Etihad’s codeshare partner JetBlue.
Alex Featherstone, vice president network planning and alliances, said: "Etihad is enhancing its schedule this winter to provide even more options for our guests across key business and leisure destinations in our global network.
"Our New York service continues to perform strongly, and having already experienced record passenger demand this summer, Etihad is excited to be investing further in this market by building on frequency levels ahead of the peak winter travel period."
