Etihad Airways has rolled out plans to introduce three more destinations to its international network in 2014. The airline will commence daily services to Rome and Jaipur, together with four flights per week to Yerevan (Armenia).
The new routes will join a previously announced daily service to Los Angeles and three flights per week to Dallas, plus daily services to Zurich, Perth and Medina, all of which are scheduled to commence in 2014. The eight new routes will increase Etihad Airways’ worldwide network to 102 destinations next year.
James Hogan, president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways, said: “This is part of a measured and strategic growth plan. Together with our code-share and equity alliance partners, we have enhanced our global market access in constrained regions.”
The 2014 network plan results in more than 20% growth expected in weekly departures. To support this growth, the airline will receive 20 aircraft deliveries next year, including the first 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A380s. The airline will also receive five Boeing 777-200LRs, one Boeing 777-300ER, three Airbus A320s, three Airbus A321s, four Airbus A330-200s and one Airbus A330 Freighter in 2014.
