Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to launch
flights connecting Abu Dhabi with Copenhagen in Denmark and
Düsseldorf, Germany.
Scheduled to take off on 1 October, the airline
will operate four flights per week to Copenhagen and thrice weekly
to Düsseldorf, using
Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft with 28 seats in
Business Class and 262 in Economy Class.
“We are thrilled to start flying to Denmark for
the first time and to expand our network in Germany to our third
city, providing guests with more holiday options and easier access
between Abu Dhabi and Europe,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Chief
Executive Officer of Etihad Airways. “Our new flights will take off for the winter
season — the perfect time for guests to escape the cold and enjoy
Abu Dhabi’s beautiful beaches, world-class entertainment and rich
heritage — and also ideal for travellers choosing to experience
the unique allure of Europe in the winter. With our network
expanding to 66 cities, there are even more must-see destinations
to plan your next great adventure with Etihad Airways.”
Visitors flying to Europe can look forward to
discovering Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark and one of the most
popular tourist destinations in Scandinavia, famous for its
canals, café culture and attractions including Tivoli
Gardens, the oldest amusement park in the world.
Previously served by Etihad, Düsseldorf is being
relaunched and will be the airline’s third city in Germany after
Frankfurt and Munich, both currently served with daily flights.
The city lies on the banks of the Rhine River and is renowned for
its world-class shopping and thriving arts, fashion and music
scene.
