Etihad Airways has expanded its African network with the launch of a three times per week service between Abu Dhabi and Algiers. Commencing on 17 June 2015, the new link will make Algiers, the airlines’ tenth destination in Africa.
The new flights will offer significant travel options for business and leisure travellers in Algeria. They will also provide better access to Algeria for over 10,000 Algerians expatriates living in the UAE.
James Hogan, president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways, said: “The direct link between Abu Dhabi and Algeria is another milestone in our African expansion strategy and underscores our ongoing commitment to serve emerging markets.”
The Abu Dhabi-Algiers route will be operated by a three-class Airbus A330-300 aircraft, configured to carry 231 passengers, with eight seats in first class, 32 seats in business class and 191 seats in economy class, offering a total of 1,386 seats per week.
