Etihad's direct flight to Ahmedabad

The Abu Dhabi-headquartered Etihad Airways plans to launch a direct flight to Ahmedabad. The service, which is likely to be started in November this year, will offer nearly 1,000 seats a week to the capital city of Gujarat. According to a company release, the airline anticipates strong traffic from Ahmedabad during the peak season in November. “We continue to build strength and depth to our global network and the addition of Ahmedabad, the fifth largest city in India, will make significant contributions to traffic flows to Abu Dhabi and beyond,” Mr James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad, said.
