Etihad confirms new Scotland service

Friday, 10 Jul, 2014 0

Etihad Airways will launch its first service from Scotland next year with the start of a non-stop daily flight from Edinburgh to Abu Dhabi.

The new route, which will start on June 8, will be operated with a two-class Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

"Scotland has been on our radar for some time," said James Hogan, president and CEO.

"The two cities share strong tourism links and the UAE is Scotland’s primary trade partner in the Gulf region, which will fuel strong demand among business and leisure travellers on our non-stop service."

He said a second service would be introduced from Scotland to Abu Dhabi in five years’ time.

Etihad already offers triple-daily flights from London, and double-daily flights from Manchester.
