Etihad Airways will add flights to Hyderabad from November.
The airline will operate a four times a week non-stop service from its base in Abu Dhabi.
The service will become daily from the start of 2010.
The airline is also pushing to secure further traffic rights from Abu Dhabi to other India cities, including Bangalore.
Etihad will operate a two-class Airbus A320 on the new Hyderabad route configured to carry 140 passengers with 20 in business class and 120 in economy class.
