Etihad Airways have made changes to its South Korea flights which will see a move a same-time-daily flight schedule between Abu Dhabi and Seoul (Incheon), effective January 2013. The airline’s current Abu Dhabi-Seoul flight schedule is split; with different departure times on different days of the week.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways president and chief executive officer said: the new schedule would enhance the airline’s appeal to travelers on the South Korean route and contribute to sustainable profitability. ”Travelers will have more choice, convenience and flexibility – particularly for travel between South Korea and the GCC, Middle East, Africa and Europe, and South America when Sao Paulo comes online in July 2013,” added Hogan.
Hogan also highlighted fresh opportunities for growing leisure travel to South Korea from the GCC, the Middle East and Europe.
The January 2013 schedule change will see an upgrade of aircraft type, from a three-class Airbus A330-300 to a larger Airbus A340-500 configured with 12 seats in Diamond First class, 28 seats in Pearl Business class, and 200 seats in Coral Economy class.
