Etihad Airways will increase its services to Casablanca with a daily service from March 28th, 2013. The airline currently flies five times a week between Casablanca and Abu Dhabi.
The daily service will support traffic growth between Abu Dhabi and Casablanca and connecting traffic to many popular onward GCC destinations including Jeddah, and cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Sydney. The additional services will improve the connectivity in Abu Dhabi by 50%.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “The Moroccan capital has been a successful destination for us and retains strong volumes of business and leisure passengers throughout the year.”
The daily service will also strengthen connectivity with code-share partner, Royal Air Maroc, giving Etihad Airways’ passengers more choice to connect to domestic Moroccan destinations and other points in West Africa. The route is serviced with a three cabin A330-300 aircraft, configured to carry eight passengers in Diamond First class, 32 passengers in Pearl Business class, and 191 passengers in Coral Economy class.
