UAE flag carrier Etihad Airways has marked the 10th anniversary of its services to Manchester Airport.
Since the route was launched on 27 March 2006, Etihad Airways has operated more than 10,000 flights between Manchester and Abu Dhabi. Due to its popularity in the North of England, the frequency increased to twice daily in August 2011. Over two million passengers have flown between Manchester and Abu Dhabi on Etihad Airways in the past decade.
James Harrison, UK GM for Etihad Airways, said: “Etihad Airways is delighted to be marking a highly successful decade operating out of Manchester. We’ve seen passenger numbers continually rise every year since we started operations, and Manchester is a key destination on our global network. It has an important role in our UK operation and has been a consistent success, regularly appearing in our top 10 most popular destinations.
“In addition to the aircraft, we have made a huge investment in our brand through the sponsorship of Manchester City FC. Our European call centre is also based at Manchester Airport and houses more than 200 staff.
“We operate two flights a day to Abu Dhabi connecting our guests to more than 100 destinations via our main hub in Abu Dhabi. At Terminal 1, there is an elegant premium lounge and we offer limousine services for our premium-class passengers.”
