Etihad Airways will double its flights between Abu Dhabi and New York City, introducing a second daily service from March 1.
Initially, the new flights will be operated by Etihad Airways using two three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft leased from its strategic partner, India’s Jet Airways.
From May 1, Jet Airways will operate these flights.
The second New York service will increase substantially the connections available via the Abu Dhabi Airport hub, with the schedule designed to link in both directions with Etihad Airways and partner airline flights between Abu Dhabi and more than 30 destinations in India, the Middle East, Central and South East Asia, Africa and island nations in the Indian Ocean region.
In addition to the increased frequency to New York, Etihad Airways has announced plans to commence services to two new US destinations – Los Angeles daily from June and Dallas-Fort Worth three times a week from December this year.
The airline also flies daily between Abu Dhabi and both Washington D.C. and Chicago.
