Etihad Airways has unveiled plans to increase
flights between Abu Dhabi and
Frankfurt, Germany.
From 1 May, the airline will add an extra four
services a week to its current daily frequency, bringing the total
number of flights to Frankfurt up to 11 weekly.
The additional
flights will be operated with Boeing
787 Dreamliner aircraft featuring 28 seats in Business Class and 262 in Economy
Class.
Although famed for its financial activities,
Frankfurt has a rich cultural history too and the old town with
its half-timbered houses, cathedral, museum embankment and Goethe House are popular with the thousands of tourists the
city welcomes each year.
Customers flying to or from Frankfurt with Etihad
can use the airline’s Rail & Fly service to travel by train from
any station on the Deutsche Bahn or SNCF network.
Arik De, Chief Revenue Officer of Etihad Airways,
said, “We are pleased to offer our guests more flights to
Frankfurt, one of Europe’s most important airports. The increase
in frequency also means greater connectivity to our growing
network and the opportunity to welcome more visitors to Abu Dhabi
where they can enjoy our world-renowned hospitality, culture,
leisure activities and cuisine.”
The airline will also
resume flights to Düsseldorf from 1 October.
