UAE – Mubasher: Etihad Airways will expand its network to Austria’s capital Vienna, using a two-class Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Connecting gateways across the Etihad network including the GCC, Southeast Asia, and Australia, the new route will begin with four weekly flights between 22 May and 30 June, Emirates News Agency (WAM) said on Monday.
Commenting on the expansion to Austria, the chief commercial officer of Etihad Aviation Group, Robin Kamark, said: “Vienna is the largest unserved market from Abu Dhabi and the announcement of this route brings the number of our European passenger destinations to 22.”
Kamark added: “Trade between the UAE and Austria is strong and there are approximately 180 Austrian companies operating in the emirates. Tourism has been increasing in both directions with Austria becoming an increasingly popular year-round destination with UAE nationals and residents.”
