Etihad set to double Africa footprint
Etihad Airways is set to double its routes to the African continent over the next year.
The UAE airline has announced three new Africa flight routes in the past two months, adding more destinations and frequencies to its services.
Currently, Etihad serves four African destinations: Johannesburg, South Africa; Cairo, Egypt; Mahe, Seychelles; and Casablanca, Morocco.
On 15 December, the airline will resume flights to Nairobi, Kenya, and next year will launch new routes to Tunis, Tunisia; Algiers, Algeria; and Al Alamein, Egypt.
Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, said: “As we prepare to return to Nairobi, Kenya next month, we are committed to growing Africa flights and doubling our destinations over the next year.
“We are expanding our frequencies, including boosting both Johannesburg and Casablanca to daily services from next summer. “
Within a year, Africa flights will increase to 57 frequencies a week to eight cities.
Etihad said it hopes to eventually make all its Africa flights daily.
Etihad also has Africa connectivity via codeshare and interline partnerships with several African airlines.
These include Airlink South Africa, Air Seychelles, Royal Air Maroc, and EgyptAir.
