By August, Etihad plans to operate 45% of its pre-Covoid-19 network as international travel restrictions are eased. Etihad Airways will gradually increase its network to 58 destinations by the end of August following the easing of international of travel restrictions.
“By August we aim to operate approximately 45% of our pre-Covid capacity,” said Tony Douglas, group CEO of Etihad Aviation Group.
“While we have continued to operate a schedule of special passenger, cargo and humanitarian flights over the last few months, the priority is now to build the network back up on markets that have opened up.”
Throughout July and August, subject to the lifting of international restrictions and the re-opening of individual markets, the airline plans to fly to destinations including major gateways in the Middle East, North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Subject to the applicable government approvals, Etihad’s summer schedule will feature a wider network and increased frequencies to the following destinations from, to, or via Abu Dhabi:
North America: Chicago, New York JFK, Toronto, Washington, D.C.
Europe: Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Belgrade, Brussels, Dublin, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Geneva, Istanbul, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Moscow, Munich, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Rome, Zurich
Middle East & Africa: Amman, Bahrain, Beirut, Cairo, Casablanca, Kuwait, Muscat, Rabat, Riyadh, Seychelles
Asia: Ahmedabad, Baku, Bangkok, Bengaluru, Chennai, Colombo, Delhi, Hyderabad, Islamabad, Jakarta, Karachi, Kochi, Kolkata, Kozhikode, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, Male, Manila, Mumbai, Seoul, Singapore, Thiruvananthapuram, Tokyo
Australasia: Melbourne, Sydney
The return to a larger network of international flights will be supported by the Etihad Wellness sanitisation and safety programme.
This includes trained Wellness Ambassadors, who have been introduced by the airline to provide travel health information on the ground and on flights.
Douglas said: “Over the last few months, we have seized every opportunity to improve our processes, review our product offering, and to undertake the biggest fleet maintenance programme in our history. We are tremendously grateful to our customers and partners for their continued loyalty.
