Etihad to serve Ireland
UAE carrier Etihad Airways is to launch flights from Dublin to Abu Dhabi this summer.
Four flights a week are due to start in August 3 using Airbus A330-200s in a three-class configuration.
The new service will allow one-stop connections to Sydney and cities in Asia, including Bangkok and Manila.
Flights will operate from Dublin on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
The airline’s chief executive James Hogan said: “This new air link between the capital cities of Ireland and the UAE brings together two thriving economies.
“It will also offer quick and easy transfers at Abu Dhabi for Irish business travellers and holidaymakers to reach Asia and Australia. Plus, Abu Dhabi, as the capital city of the UAE, also opens up the country’s seven emirates, including Dubai.”
Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern welcomed the new service, saying: “I am particularly pleased that Irish travellers will have their first one-stop travel option to Australia.”
