ETIHAD FLYING TO BRISBANE DAILY FROM FEBRUARY 2013
Etihad Airways has announced that the airline will launch daily flights between Brisbane and Abu Dhabi, from February 1 next year.
Increasing from three times a week to a daily service will bring the total number of flights that Etihad operates between Australia and Abu Dhabi, with partner airline Virgin Australia, to 28.
The service will operate via Singapore in both directions.
Etihad president and chief executive James Hogan described the launch as “game-changing”.
“Going daily to Brisbane and Singapore puts Etihad Airways in a stronger competitive position and will increase the airline’s brand footprint exponentially in these markets,” he said.
“We are now able to offer corporate and leisure travellers a more appealing proposition: more flights, more convenience, improved connections and a wider choice of destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Gulf Co-operation Countries, and on the Virgin Australia domestic network.”
“These extra flights to Brisbane and Singapore underscore the strategic importance of Australia and the Asia Pacific region and the contribution each makes to the airline’s goal of sustainable profitability,” he noted.
