In a bid to boost tourism and trade, Etihad Airways’ president and chief executive officer James Hogan recently highlighted the importance of the two segments to the airline’s new route between Abu Dhabi and Perth.
Hogan said the airline’s daily, non-stop flights between Abu Dhabi and Perth from 15 July, would meet strong demand for travel between UAE and Western Australia.
“We are confident our new services will strengthen our presence in Australia, where we already serve Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.” The airline’s commitment to trade and tourism between Australia and the UAE will see its flights between two countries rise from 28 – 35 per week. The new flights to Perth will also deliver an extra 3,668 seats.
Etihad Airways will operate an Airbus A330-200 aircraft with 262 seats – 22 seats in business class and 240 in economy class on the route.
