18.02.10
Etihad Airways will increase capacity by close to 60 percent on its service between Manchester Airport and Abu Dhabi from June. The airline is upgrading its current A330-200 aircraft to a Boeing 777-300. The capacity increase will mean an additional 2100 seats each week on the route.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad’s chief commercial officer, said: ‘Our services to Manchester have been performing very strongly, with load factors of close to 80 percent in 2009. The introduction of the Boeing 777 furthers our commitment to this important route. We are pleased to support business and leisure travel to the region.’
Etihad operates seven return services per week between Manchester and Abu Dhabi, with onward connections to its expanding global network. This includes popular destinations such as Sydney, Melbourne, Bangkok, Cape Town and Islamabad.
